wtbh -- sending many hugs and prayers for you and your family.
With many alcoholics, the worse things are and get, the more they use. It's their coping mechanism and no matter that it's no longer working for them. Without some kind of active rehab program, some can't seem to find their bottom and keep digging.
The best thing I ever did was turn my husband's problem over to others. I've thought of this scenario before for myself and I was finally able to see the programs available to us, even if we might need to go out of state to find them. I had never thought of myself as being abused until after progressing in my recovery. Now I realize that abuse centers are there for me. Emotional abuse is as bad as physical and verbal abuse. It just stays hidden easier. Keep looking and praying. Giving up my fears and control, somehow doors started opening. (((hugs)))
