I have been with my partner almost five years.. He has always liked to drink but the last 3 years have been the worst.. He has a few months where he's not to bad on the beer but then it changes and he drinks from morning until night he does have a full time job but does go through faces where he goes awol from work due to drinking.. He does suffer from depression and anxiety but drinking only makes it worse.. He has done two home detoxes where a nurse comes round and weans him off the drink with tablets where he can't be left alone so you have to sit and watch him all day.. But you can guarantee he turns back to drink.. It is awful living with the fact he has no sleep pattern so keeps me awake all night the emotional abuse I get i.e.: it's my fault/ I don't help him/ I make him drink he follows me around the house mithering me why don't you love me I need love and support I had to baracade myself in the spare room so he couldn't get in just to get some peace.. I have attended every doctors app hospital app councilling app AA meetings and pick up his medication I work a full time job then come home clean up cook and do the washing.. His family do not help in anyway what so ever they just brush the problem under the carpet .. I have no family to speak to whatsoever and the few friends I have are sick of hearing me complain when I don't act on it .. I am sooo tired drained and deflated it's untrue.. I like many of you I do love him but I've given up on him changing I am ready to leave him but I literally have nowhere to go!! I want more for my life and I want more it's not as easy as just leave when you have nowhere to go

My mother is a alcoholic, I'm a young adult and I'm very close to my mother. My mom has always had a drinking problem since my dad left and over time it got worse, she blames him for her drinking even though he left about 6 years ago. My father is verbal abusive. I've always been the rock for both parents it's very exausting. My mother often lives in her past, she told me when we move she will drink less. When we moved out of state and the past two months I've been here are the worse I've seen her drink, it's draining to watch. She can say very hurtful things without caring, she's always emotional. It's hard to talk about to her because she gets irritated and drinks more or make me feel bad for bringing it up. Often buzzed or drunk. It's very easy for a argument to start when she wants me to stay up with her longer because she's intoxicated, or because she wants me to have a drink or another drink with her. She will find any excuse to drink if she's stressed,headache,back pains,annoyed or if she has to take care of the dog. She will have a drink to start the day because coffee gives her headaches. Today she laid in bed and drank all day, at moments I do need to recharge and I'll drive somewhere even if it's down the street. I've been applying to job's so I'm hoping to be out alot more than at home. I feel so much better after getting this off my chest.
