I'm not sure he "hurt you".

It sounds to me like he allowed you to face the consequences of your choice.

I feel for you - but it seems to me that you're focusing on what he "did" to you when in fact what it appears happened is that you made a choice to allow your addiction to take the wheel again and you were forced to face the inevitable consequences. Is it his responsibility to comfort you in that?

I'm not saying this with mean or heartless intent..... I'm saying this from an objective place of observation and as a fellow problem drinker who has had to face consequences and at times fallen into "oh poor ME" thinking...
