Hello Elle,
I just don’t know what to do and feel horribly selfish saying I don’t want to see you this weekend as we are meant to be going out for dinner to for his dads bday and they will all be drinking bar his mum who wont be as she is to ill to and I just think how can u drink in front of her?!
It is not selfish to NOT want to be around sick people.
It is called self-care.
This story is familiar and so sad and sick.
Please go to college and get on with your life.
They have been living this way for a long, long time,
and it appears their son is following in their footsteps.
I am a recovering alcoholic, and one thing I can tell you for sure,
you are NOT over reacting!
You boyfriend has a
serious problem that only HE can deal with and get better.
There is nothing in this world you could do or say to change how much he drinks.
(no matter what he or his parents say, you have no control over him at all)
Please do not spend one more precious second of your one and only life on these
sick people. They are alcoholics and until they decide to do something about it,
it only gets worse.
Elle, take care of your self. Go on and live a great life. This is not yours to fix.
Beth
