Hi. This is the first time I’ve reached out to people in a similar situation to me and just reading some of the posts has made me realise, I’m not the only one and my thoughts and fears are perfectly normal.
I have lived with (and unwittingly supported) an alcoholic for over 15yrs and despite endless promises and apologises, I still come second place to a bottle of whisky every night.
I still want to support him but I don’t want to feel responsible for him or spend the rest of my life defined by his addiction.
its time for me.
