My dp is an alcoholic. He's been doing really well for the last year or so and seemed to have his drinking under control. For the last couple of weeks he's been slipping back into old habits, hiding drink, drinking in secret etc. For the last two days he's been promising to stop, go back to counselling, AA etc. He went to an AA meeting this evening and hasn't come home. I know he's gone drinking. We have a very young dd together and I'm 6 months pregnant. I don't know what to do. I cant cope with this. I'm so afraid of what state he'll come home in. I know I need to make him leave but I'm not strong enough. I'll have to give up my job tomorrow because he stays at home to look after our dd (she has sn, suspected autism) and I can't trust him to do this now.
What am I going to do, it's such a mess. I'm so scared of whats going to happen next. I don't have anyone in real life to talk to, I'm ashamed to tell anyone. Please help me.
