I am new to this site, just set up my account. I came home to a drunk husband for the millionth time and I am at my absolute wit's end. I don't know why it surprises and disappoints me every time because he is drunk every day and every night. He says he needs to stop drinking but he can't. He will not go into an inpatient treatment program. What do people do? His friends have formally detached from him. His dad doesn't know what is going on. We've been married for 22 years and frankly I am tired of the burden. If I left him he would not take his medication, he would not eat, he's unemployed, therefore would have no health insurance, I honestly do not know how he would live. He drinks 24/7. What do people like him do? What do people like me do with people like him when we don't want the burden any more?
