My story is a new one. I noticed an increase in drinking about 18 months ago...around the time our little april was born. I also noticed a depression starting. Found that it ran in his family. His father was also an alcoholic but has been sober 25+ years.
Financial troubles from a failing biz is also in my forcast.
He has never laid a hand on me or the kids and never verbally abused. He left in March and is still trying to support us so that I don't lose the house.
I feel that his depression and the progressive drinking is the cause although he says that I never really loved him. We have the blame game going on.
I am losing a second family. I have known him 20 which is more than half of my life. He was my best friend first. We were never drinkers. Maybe 2 parties a year...maybe and the alcohol would go dusty from not using. New set of friends were a bad influence....
Am I crazy?
