New To The Forums
I'm so glad I found this forum. I live with a functional alcoholic. He's okay during the days but by late afternoon, things are not good. Most evenings, he just blacks out in his chair. He can be verbally aggressive and there's just no talking to him about anything without setting him off. Next morning, he doesn't remember any of it. Basically, I've learned to cope by being quiet but I want to leave and need to leave but I'm really having trouble actually doing it. There's no talking to him about his drinking. He won't see a doctor and won't even admit he has a problem so an intervention or any hope of getting him into treatment is not possible. Just wondering if anyone could share their story or offer me some support. I'm having a hard time. I do have a therapist but can't afford to see him all the time.
