I am not ready to leave. If I just allowed my husband to drink as much as he wanted and in our apartment, I would be increasing my risk for both verbal and physical abuse.
Hey, you leave when you're ready to. You don't need to make a decision until you have to.

Just know though, that you put yourself at risk by staying with an abusive man. He doesn't put you at risk because he drinks regardless of the amount.

When the pain of staying is greater than the pain of leaving you'll make your move. No one can make an alcoholic stop drinking and no one can make a wife leave her abusive husband. When you're ready, you'll be ready. Until then, I hope you take care of yourself and your sobriety.
