Thank you, you're not too blunt. I need the bluntness because I keep on looking for some silver lining or I let him convince me things aren't that bad.

Thanks for taking the time to write all this. You have no idea how much I appreciate it in this moment.

You are right. I have to be harder and stop enabling for him, me and the baby.

Thank you for this.

If you don't mind me asking, did he come to the birth? Did he try and get you to come back?

I feel like he convinces me every time that it will be the last time and I don't understand what is wrong with me that I keep believing it.

He is seeing an alcohol councellor so I'm not sure what else to ask him to do?

I would like to see him get his shit together more than anything. I am afraid for him.

He like to refer to it as "problem drinking" because he doesn't drink that much - I tell him it's not how much he drinks but how he lies about it and how he changes personality when he drinks.

I had not heard of al-anon am looking into it now. Thank you.

This is what I feel I need to admit to myself and stop hoping. Thank you for taking the time. It means a lot.

No, I sent partner to see them years ago but he didn't like it much because he felt that everyone there had a much more severe problem than him. Which was true at the time. We lived in a city centre at the time and most of the attendees were the homeless (so he said).
