My AXBF just called me as he was leaving his parents house in DE. He just wanted to thank me for the gifts I got them. I could tell he was slurring his words so bad( I'm used to this, I can tell how drunk he is by how he speaks)

Now he's going to drive the 2 hours home completely drunk. So here I am sitting here like a complete nervous wreck. If something bad we're to happen to him I'll never forgive myself.

I know I need to keep telling myself, this is HIS CHOICE, his dumb ideas. But it still doesn't help my worry.

Please help

This may sound like an extreme idea, Holly, but I would call the police.

He is drunk and he is driving....he could get himself killed or kill someone else.

I hope that you will at least consider the idea.

I would call the police he is endangering everyone on the road. Think of the guilt if he kills an innocent person.

Call the police immediately before he kills someone.

I'm so sorry Holly. My husband does this too only I'm no aware he is drunk driving until he gets home and stumbles into the house. Seren has a good idea there you can use. I can't believe his parents are letting him out of the house in that condition, or at least calling the police themselves. They could lose a son and heaven forbid someone innocent.
I hate alcoholism.

I'm really so sorry you have been put in this situation. I know it's scary..."what if I'm wrong?" "what if he finds out if was me?! He'll be furious!!"

I understand all of those fears. But if it were my own stepson, I would still call because it might just protect him or someone else.

If i dont hear in a half hour I'll call... he left at 6...

Thanks everyone!

What ever happened with his drunk commute? Im not sure if you contemplated No Contact with your ex, but it truly is the only way to go. You don't need to be poisoned with his poor behaviors or your constant worries.
