Need advice. I know I am in an abusive relationship. For the last 6 years my DH has suffered with bad mental health problems, and drink and drug issues. He’ll keep straight and sober for a few months and those months are grand and we have a good family life. Then he’ll have a week where he totally looses it by drinking, drugging not takings his meds and makes life awful for me and the DCs (9 and 11). Then he goes back to being really good again. I know that on paper I should leave him. But he have these long periods of normality and stability and are a happy family. If he was awful all the time then I’d go. If you have been in similar situations, did you stay and just accept it? Or did you go? It’s like living with Jekyll and Hide.
