But instead there's no thought process about it and he continues to carry on as if everyone is to blame and he's just enjoying life getting wasted. I don't have any kids but I feel like I'm living with a wild teenager. He has disrespected me so many times in front of our friends that I'm embarrassed to be seen with him. I've spent the evening looking online at rentals and everything is so expensive. I live in Los Angeles. My heart goes out to you and I really hope that all of us suffering can find our way out. And the alcoholics in our lives will find a way out of their addiction as well. Thank you for posting. It's good to know I'm not alone.
This is concerning. I don't remember from reading, but if you had him jailed I hope he didn't harm you in any way physically.

Have you considered talking to a Domestic Violence hotline? Even if you weren't harmed physically, he has emotionally harmed you. They have resources to help and if nothing else will be an ear and a source of ideas.

I know it's expensive to live alone. Maybe there are group homes or roommate situations? I've taken on female roommates that I didn't know very well and even though they didn't all work very well, I never suffered abuse from them and I was able to save money to get my own place. Living with this guy just sounds untenable.
