losing confidence

Hello

I'm new here, I just wanted to get stuff off my chest. My bf is an alcoholic and i'm struggling a bit at the moment, he stays with me for a few days a week and is now blaming me for his drinking. He is banned from the pubs and local shops where he lives, but not where i live (a different town) so he can buy booze when he likes. I am starting to lose my self confidence, Im a sensitive person and life has always been a stuggle for me, but I compensated for my weaknesses by being assertive and projecting an air of confidence, but its diminishing. he also has other issues, past drug addiction (heroin), and self harms. I feel im being scapegoated by him, i try to be supportive but at this point dont know what direction to proceed. my father is an alcoholic, so i experienced the negativity of this as a child. does anyone have any advice?
thanks
