Is anyone else out there feeling like they’re being emotionally abused?

Hi,
I’m not sure anyone will see this. I just signed up tonight because I feel like I need more support in dealing my alcoholic ‘friend’ and while I’m at it, my brothers and sister are all addicts or alcoholics, my family is riddled with alcoholics and addicts and I lost my father 13 years ago to suicide; he was a gambler.
I have gone to al anon and therapy over all of these people in my life; but I’m still feeling like I need more help.
I am also married to an adult child of an alcoholic, and his unresolved issues have derailed our marriage.
Is anyone there?

Welcome to the family. Read and post. Lots of good info here and lots of experience.

We also have forums specific to loved ones of alcoholics/addicts that you might find helpful too.

I'm glad you found us.

Welcome to SR. We are here. While we may not have all the answers (at least I don't in this case) we collectively will offer our support and encouragement. Don't worry someone will come along soon with more to offer on your situation.

Welcome,

I'm the alcoholic in my marriage, and like you said its derailed yours. I've done a ton of damage to family over the years, so I sympathize with your situation. Right now if your husband doesn't want to get sober there is nothing you can do. He has to want it more than you want it for him and your marriage.
