There isn't a cold/heartless soul on this whole board. If they were, they wouldn't be here.
What there ARE are a lot of people who have been handed the bullsh*t you're being handed by your violent, abusive, self-pitying BF and have lived through it, just to have it happen again and again.
And what there ARE are people who are trying to not have that happen to you. So the next time he "swings his hand" it won't be breaking your face.
Do what you feel you must, for your own peace of mind. There's nothing wrong with handing him a list of treatment facilities (my bet is that he'll do absolutely nothing with it) That's kind, and it's all you can do. You can't make him go, and you can't make him sober. AND you can't take responsibility for him refusing to get off his butt and get the help he needs.
But know that he's nowhere near bottom, he's just telling you what you want most to hear, so you'll stay. Sorry if that's not what you were hoping to hear, but we don't play that game here -- we actually care about you. If only you cared about yourself as much :ghug
