Hi everyone. My first time on here, and I'll really appreciate responses from anyone who's been through similar. I live currently with my partner, who is the father of my young child. We aren't married. The house is in my name and I pay all the bills as I earned more than him, he buys the food and gave me a 50% contribution towards the car loan (which I don't use). He's an alcoholic. Drinks a bottle+ of spirits a night and he's nasty. He doesn't work anymore, left a few weeks ago after being bullied long term which took a huge toll on his mental health. He doesn't wash very often, smells, and just sits now on the sofa watching TV all day, drinking. By afternoon he's slurring his speach, and obnoxious to the point I dearly wish him gone. Nights are spent with him ranting, with the shakes of he doesn't get his fix. He admits he's an alcoholic, but is scared of getting help/won't. Today I asked him to leave (he has no-where to go, and no money). He told me he would go if I paid him to! I have quite a bit of debt racked up by him not contributing, but will just about be able to manage if the car is sold and get additional work to supplement income (already work FT). The car is registered in his name, but I believe I can prove ownership since I bought it and pay the loan, which is a substantial amount each month (in my name). I feel totally and utterly trapped in a nightmare, and am at my wits end. I hate him now, but would tolerate him and try to help if he gets help-immediately. Otherwise I want him gone for the sake of my sanity and health and my child's, enough is enough. We are so much happier when he isn't around with his poison and nastiness. Are any of you happy to share your experiences of getting alcoholic partner to leave (especially if have no-where to go?), or the legalities of doing so? Or where you even start getting help? I can't attend Al-anon in my local area as evening meetings and I don't have any childcare support. Thank you everyone, I appreciate what an awful subject this is :(
