I don't want to give up on him, but i also don't know what i should do or think.
I am stressed out, can't sleep, got depressions and everything.
My birthmother was an alcoholic too, maybe thats why i try so hard.
But i have the feeling nobody really understands me.
You have come to the right place sprman.
Everyone here understands you and what you are going thru.
Since your mother was an alcoholic, it could be what you are used to.

My father was an alcoholic, he died from cirrhosis of the liver.
Your boyfriend needs help, I was in the military and went to rehab (not just detox) when I was on active duty.

There are three C's you should remember.
you did not cause his alcoholism.
you cannot control his alcoholism, and
you cannot cure his alcoholism.

He must have professional help and he has to want the help to get well.
Can you find some help for yourself?
It is extremely stressful, and yes, depressing to live like you are.
How about AlAnon meetings? Or a counselor?

I hope you can find a little peace in your life soon.
