Live in Boyfriend is an alcoholic.
When I was dating XABF #1, I came across this article about abusive behavior. I grew up without a father and really had no idea how I was supposed to be treated or what a healthy relationship looked like.
Boy did this article open my eyes! It’s a psychologist’s checklist for abuse—which can happen with or without addiction. Take a look—

PS in my situation I gave him two weeks to get out. He refused to find a place to live, so I took him to the Rescue Mission. First smart thing I ever did in my dating life. Was it hard? YES. Am I glad I did it? YES!!
If he’d refused to go? I would have called the police. No drug addict wants you to call the police.

Long story short, I tried to get him to detox at the local hospital. They wouldn't take him, he left the hospital on foot really mad at ME (nothing was ever his fault). That was it.
I talked to him a few times on the phone/text, but haven't seen him since. As far as I know, he got a friend to buy him a greyhound ticket across country to be near his kids.
What you had was indeed like no other; now you must learn from it and move on. I did, and I promise you: If you focus all your energy on your own well being instead of his - your friends, your work, your passions - your life will expand and grow in ways you can't even imagine.
I also recommend Alanon and individual therapy to help you over the bumps. You are not alone. We care, and we understand.
