Is it normal
My separated AH left 6 months ago as he couldn't keep putting me and the kids through his drinking binges, and he wanted to drink when he wants. But he has completely shut me out, he has never done this before. I want to help him, I love him and I suppose I am struggling to let go and accept addiction has ruined our 17 year marriage. He says he has been reading all the information I have sent him about alcohol addiction, preparing for if he decides to give up but won't make any promises, guarantees, is this an excuse or do people read up and prepare for giving up?? also know I can't help him he has to want to help himself.
He says he still loves me and I do believe him but he has such a negative opinion about himself and constantly talks negatively about himself and how I am better off without him and yes while he is actively drinking I am. But is it normal for A to shut people out????
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
