I want him to leave

[bobby2]

My life is unbearable with my h, want to seperate but cant afford to move out and he refuses to leave. He is an alcoholic and won't get help, he has just come out of a 5 day detox and strted drinking again, I pay all the mortgage and bills as he has lost his job and he spent his invalidity benefit in 2 days on paying off local shops for booze. what the hell do I do?

oh bobby2, so sorry for you, I can't offer any valid advice, but you can't go on like this.

If you have children, i think it might almost be best to "kick him out" pack his bags, and change the locks. You can't have dc seeing him like that. Although that probably is wrong (it's just what I'd like to do with him)

Is there a women's centre or free legal advice place you could contact. it's hard the detox didn't work. Hope someone else can help you.

I agree with the previous message re getting legal advice.

Can you send off to one of his family? Sorry if that sounds a bit unsympathetic but i really wouldn't want to be around a alcoholic with kids.

It must be so hard for you, i hope you find a solution fast.

You could go (to family/friend/refuge) or you could ask him to leave. If he refuses then you could try to get an order which makes him go. You can get these for privately owned AND rented accomodation.
