I'm a mum of 2 under 3 and pregnant due in February and partner thinks it's okay to get drunk even tho he can't handle his drink I had to leave my home all day with my kids who may I add are hard work 😂 and had to spend it with my father. My daughter kept asking where her daddy was and I didn't know what to do or say I miss him but don't want him to think it's acceptable I feel so bad for my babies asking where he is :( and just feel so depressed I have no one to talk to not one friend and just feel so alone my safe place is with my partner but he doesn't seem to care about that and rather get drunk 😢

Why did you leave the house to visit your father? It sounds like his priorities are all wrong!😑

You’ve got your dad. He’s someone. He was there for you when your drunk waster boyfriend let you and your kids down. I imagine he’s very worried about all of you.

To get from him drunk I don't agree with it and definitely not around my children also he can't handle his drink . He drank because his dad died 4 years ago today but this isn't the first time . I don't think it's an excuse to act like that and leave me to deal with everything my daughter asking where her daddy is just makes me so upset I don't know wether to stay separated now or forgive him just feel so bad on my babies

Sorry just a sec he is so bad yet you chose to have children with him and put them in this situation also. Neither of you is a good parent then him for drinking and making you all feel like this and you for going ahead and having children with him. Glad you had your dad to go to but seriously your partner is not a safe place to be get that out of your head or you would never have left!

You really need to get away from the drunk. Unfortunately if someone is addicted to alcohol, the alcohol means more to them than their family, their home, their friends, their job. Your children won't be grateful long term if they're brought up in that situation.

You have your dad. Talk to him. Confide in him.

And start building (or re-building) friendships.... why do you feel you don't have anyone else? Does your OH stop you seeing other people? Do you have workmates? Old friends you could get back in touch with? A neighbour you could invite for coffee? Join a hobby group or do some volunteering. You can make friends, but you have to go out and find them.

Look after you, and your DC, and know that there is a better life waiting.
