I don't dare to leave him
30 years together with somebody with an alcohol addiction. 13 years sober. Last months fell back. After weeks of huge fights, discussion he stopped drinking again. We have a 21 year old daughter still living with us.
We don't have a relationship anymore, we don't talk with each other, we don't have mutual interests. but I stay here... I don't dare to leave him because he cannot take care of himself... afraid he will completely go down the drain.
I tell him I want to divorce that I can't stand it anymore.. he ignores me... doesn't show any signs of interest, doesn't want to go anywhere.. who can help me to get out
Dear Nana,
If you do not manage to get out of this relationship alone, see if you can find somebody in your surrounding to support you, talk about it with your housedoctor or find a therapist.
It looks like you are not happy in your relationship and it also looks like there is not so much chance that it will get better.
This is your life...
