I think I'm working this all wrong.
I understand that I didn't cause him to drink, that I can't control it and I can't cure it. I really do understand that now.
So does that mean that I sit around and do nothing? I sit around and say nothing? Do nothing more than pray every chance I get that someday he'll realize he's an alcoholic and then he'll change? Am I supposed to sit around and wait, sit around and hope?
Honestly, is there nothing I can do? I feel like I'm living a lie. I'm pretending that his sorry drunken attitude doesn't upset me or bother me anymore. I'm tired of him believing that his drinking has no effect on me. Shouldn't I be able to tell him that he's hurting me? Even if it wouldn't change anything or make any difference, can't I tell him that his drinking hurts me?
Really though......do my options pretty much consist of pretending there's nothing wrong or just up and leaving?
