Hi just looking some advice and a listening ear, thanks.
My partner of 20 years is an alcoholic binge drinker. He spend all his earnings on drinking and doses not contribute financially to our household. He has tried to get help but I don't believe his commitment and always drops out of help services. I am at my wits end about what to do as I feel his addiction has over time really taken a toll on me to the point where I feel like a very unsympathetic and bitter person, which is so far removed from who I really am. An example of which today he told me his dad had 6 months to live due to cerisos of the liver through years of drinking. His response was to go on the drink and all I could do was go off on him about how selfish he was and using any excuse to go drinking. He also had not so valid excuses for the past 3 weekends of binge drinking. What have I turned into?? I do worry so much about him and hearing about his dad resurfaced my worries (also compounded by the fact that his sister died last year through alcoholic poisoning). I gave off to him about drinking and how he was possibly putting our son at risk of losing his dad through drink instead of consoling him about his dad. I really feel bad about it but just wish he would wake up and see what harm he is doing to himself and his family.
Any advice welcome
