I understand that early recovery is a tough time emotionally as I am also a recovered alcoholic, however, it seems you are being used as a scapegoat and emotional dumping ground. This isn't good for you or him. You are quite right that no amount of money will be enough so stop the supply. Glad you are here and I'm sending you some big hugs-- You sounds like a wonderful, loving, sensitive mother to me.
