Has anyone been through this? So terrified of my phone ringing to say he's died

Actually loopy I think liver clinic is this week? It can wait until then, try to relax

So sorry Nat 💐🌺

Always here to lend an ear Nat x

Thinking of you OP.

I'm with a wonderful man who went through hell and back before he finally divorced his alcoholic wife of 20 years.

He stayed and kept going back because of the children. She was very good at making promises but ultimately the alcohol was more important to her. She died aged 42, 2 years after they divorced. It was such an awful situation and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The worst bit was, after being in and out of hospital for a year, she came home to die. Her 10 year old son witnessed her starting to die, I overheard him afterwards telling a friend "the noises she was making, I didn't know a human could scream like that" that will haunt me forever. His dad picked him up within half an hour of this happening, they /we had no idea she was so close to dying or we'd never have put him in the situation.

I'm sorry if that's harsh to share, but I wanted to show you the reality of you not protecting yourself and your children. Alcohol comes first to an alcoholic, you put yourself first. It's a hard step to take, but don't feel guilty about it.

@Loopylou6 is he in any pain or does he seem physically fine?

I hope both of you are well and enjoying your evening x

ThunderPython oh dear Jesus. Your poor stepson.

Nothing can take away what happened, but thank God he has his dad and you. When you go through hell, the supporting people around do make all the difference.

I hope that the hospital admission has jolted your DP to realise that he needs to stop drinking and he need to accept all the help and support he can get to do this.

My dad was an alcoholic but never admitted he had a problem and refused all help. He had a massive heart attack one day and died.

Hi frowny, he seems absolutely fine, back to his normal self. He's not touched a drop since before going into hospital. He's also managed to gain nearly a stone :)

Thank you little miss, sorry to hear about your dad x

Hi @Loopylou6 good to see your updates. I've sent you a PM.
