i will try to keep this brief!
My h has always had issues with alcolhol,has had 4 drink driving convictions the last one being 8 years ago we since had 3 children and I have one ds from previous marriage, since the last ds was born I have noticed he has become emotionally detached, the drinking was not often ie 1-2 a week but he would rock in at about 1.30 obviously drunk I confronted him with this in may 09 and I admit I was so furious as he had not told me where he was etc I slapped him he retaliated by grabbing my hair and smacked my head on the wall and then kicked and punched I recorded the injuries at the doctors but did not report it as I thought I would be arrested as well.
Roll forward a year of detachement and finnancial difficulties last sunday he had a few drinks at a friends briefly came back at 11.30 and then disapeared to the pub on his own, I was cross with him but could see I was getting nowhere so I went upstairs he followed and just turned on me punching kicking and threatening to throw me off balconey. I had him arrested on mon he shows no remorse what so ever I had an injunction taken out on thurs and will go back to court on wed, he meanwhile is at his mothers feeling sorry for himself because he cannot connect his behaviour to what has happened, I of course have to keep everything together and carry on. MEN ARE SO WEAK thanks for reading if you got this far
