AH is crazy, need to divorce now before I have a heart attack!
Quickly coming to the conclusion that the problem isn't so much that my AH is an alcoholic, it's that he's totally INSANE! We have tried AA, detoxes, meds, rehabs and none of it seems to help him at all, it makes him worse it seems because he gets stuck on problems like he doesn't believe in a Higher Power, etc. and that gives him the excuse he needs to say screw it and go back to drinking.
He was doing pretty good it seemed a week ago,(because he is always pretty good for a week or two and then gets awful again when he gets frustrated that trying recovery for a week doesn't make him magically better), then he had an interview for a great job and decided to double up on his prescription meds because he was nervous. I can only imagine how that job interview went! I am thinking not good because then something just kind of switched off in him and he took off from his parents house where he was staying to go drink and smoke weed with friends. He has been gone for three days so far...
Anyway, I am really truly done this time. The love is gone. He scares me. I am going to call my lawyer Monday and turn our separation into a divorce. As soon as I can legally do it, I want the locks on the house changed and a restraining order, if possible. Anyone have any experience with this? I am wondering if you can sell a house if the other person refuses to cooperate? If we have things like joint credit cards and he decides to run them up at the last minute, am I screwed? Of course I will be speaking with a lawyer, but any advice anyone has on this topic would be helpful!
