Concerned and confused
I have been married to the same man for almost 20 years and looking back, he has always struggled with alcohol. He has been in and out of rehabs, however, has remained sober for the past 18 months, however, I believe he is starting to slip again. I have approached him regarding his behavior and have questioned alcohol use. Needless to say, his reply is never yes. My concern is this....now he has begun to blame me. States that he just can't make me happy and doesn't want to be around me. Blames me for the lack of peace in our home environment. States that I'm the one that needs counseling. Yes, I would agree that I have been "on edge" lately and should probably not focus on whether he has begun to drink again or not. We just moved to a different state so that he could focus on his recover and remove himself from all of the old triggers. I'm finding myself extremely scared being out here by myself. Thoughts?
