Benni

I had to join this forum as I need help to get through with my experience with an alcoholic husband. I'm desperate, I am not being physically abused, but emotional abuse is wearing me down.

I'm a stroke survivor of almost 3 years, 68 years old. My children are grown with their own families.

Thank you for letting me join.

Hi Benni and welcome, glad you found SR.

Are you thinking of leaving?

Have you tried Al-Anon yet, they provide face to face support through meetings for people with family or friends who have a problem with alcohol. Lots of wisdom to be found there.

Here is a list of meetings in Nfld:

Al-Anon's main site is here: https://al-anon.org/

Emotional abuse is still abuse, you can also find support and counselling with your local domestic violence group, this page might be helpful:

Find Help Across Canada - Ending Violence Association of Canada

Plenty of support for you here at sober recovery as well. Perhaps if you tell us a bit more about your situation we can be of more support.

Again, welcome!

Benni

Thank you all for the welcome. I'll post more details soon, under the "Family of alcoholics" thread.
