I recently had another altercation with my partner who becomes verbally degrading when she drinks. I really had not idea what to do...walk away or help.
My instinct is to help, to coddle and protect. But it is draining me of my self respect and my confidence.
I finally had enough and called her mom for help..not keep in mind this woman is 48 yrs. old...but I had no idea who else to ask. Her mother and herself are both LCSW and have backgrounds in running Dementia Hospitals so to think she couldn't see the errors of her own ways was definitely disturbing for me.
Now...I am the bad guy....the trader...the person who was suppose to more than anybody be there to comfort her. I lost her.
Did I do the right thing?
Being honest is always the best thing to do.
