DH and I have DS 8 months. Been together 12 years, married for four. Always had different views on alcohol. I don’t drink much, odd glass of wine or drink socially when out. DH drinks every night mostly. Is a functioning alcoholic and three months ago I’d had enough when I found car boot full of empty bottles and cans. He has always stashed them round the house.
I used to get on great with his family until they turned on me about a year ago. Since I threw DH out he has been staying with parents. His mum fired back at me saying she had told me before he needed help and we should find a way to resolve our issues (his btw, not mine...). He always seems to side with them. For the sake of our DS I wanted things to be civil. When he has come to see DS I have offered DH to stay for dinner and he has refused every time. He hasn’t explained why when I asked him. What do you think? Once he told me he was doing jobs for his parents so it didn’t suit him to come that night but perhaps he could come another night. He hasn’t once shown any remorse for his actions but says he wants to be back here with us. What would you expect from someone like this? I often feel he makes me feel like I expect too much but I don’t think I expect enough sometimes and am too soft.
