undefined My husband is the one with the problem. I have been going through this drinking problem with him for 3 1/2 years, we have only been married for 5 1/2 . I NEVER knew that he had a problem until we were married for a short time, then all of a sudden stories came from his family and now he is drinking again after being sober for six years. I go to Al-anon and he started to go to AA and quit, but he is still going once a week to a group meeting for anger managment. He is angry at the world and everyone in it. He get very verbally abusive and sometimes physically abusive. I have given him chances over and over again. We cannot go to friends homes because they don't want him there! I stay home or visit my friends during the day, the ones that don't work during the day. I'm 54 yrs. old and don't want to live the rest of my life this way. The knots in my stomach a couple of hours before he comes home from work are every night, I never know what kind of mood his is going to be in. He drinks every night now again. I feel like I need to end this marriage, but he doesn't want to hear of it. Even though I have no career, I need to leave!! Living in fear is not the way to go. I need more encouragement and more convidence that I can do this on my own. The cost of living these days and to be on your own is a tough way to go, but worse to live in this kind of situation. Anyone out there in same situation that could talk to me??? I would love to hear from you. Thanks...Lena
lena, you can make it. you might have to adjust your lifestyle to do it, but you are only going to go through this life once. if he keeps using, you might have to adjust your lifestyle anyway -- at a time when you least expect it.
