Is there anyone supportive you can talk to in real life?

You say you don't want to split, but I would encourage you to open up about your situation - alcoholics anonymous run support groups for families which are fantastic place to start.

Start making plans, start thinking about what you want, what you want for your family - you'll be surprised how things can move forward once your purposeful.

If you want to leave now - women's aid are top of the list - call them now, and you can make a first step.

I spoke to women's aid and she was very helpful Im not sure if I am ready to leave I am going to think about things and she will call me back Monday thanks for you advice

Hi OP, we've moved your thread to Relationships as it was suggested you'd get a better response there. We hope that's ok with you, just report your OP with a message in it if not.

You are repeating the cycle of your own upbringing. Never mind you can't do it again. Is this the life you want your child to have? You can choose your baby can't.
