Lion,
am currently struggling over whether to give an alcoholic bf a second chance.
During that time, he has been drunk for most of it with a few really bad episodes.
Once he was so drunk he fell down a flight of stairs and cracked guys skull open. I had to beg the EMTs to take him to the hospital.
The entire time there he said to me we are done.
Another time he fell over a chair in our kitchen.
Was so delusionally drink he accused me of pushing him down a flight of stairs.
Then said he was going to cut off my legs then threatened to leave the house.
Never laid a hand on me.
Promised next day it would never happen again.
Last weekend he got delusionally drunk started telling me he was there craziest lunatic I would ever meet, tore up my magazines and banged on the counters like a lunatic.
Am I crazy for giving him a second chance?
Hon, This is your life from your words......you answer that question of should you give him a second change. Happy that you have kicked him out but chances are you have not heard the last of him. Addicts don't give up easy. Do you have a plan on how to move forward and let him figure out his alcoholism by himself. He knows where he can go to get help, they all do. Hugs and stay strong!
