Lying next to hubby whilst he sleeps off a hangover. A drinking episode which started enjoyable with friends then turned into an absolute shit show.
This used to happen 3 years ago on the regular and ended in him being arrested for driving under the influence (he overdosed on sleeping tablets in a s****** attempt). But he stopped and cleaned up his act. Apart from the road rage.
Are we headed down that road again? I’ve told him the drinking has to stop but I worry he won’t listen.
I’ve given him the dreaded ultimatum as I can’t take this much longer. There’s only so many times I can watch my kind hearted husband turn into an abusive prick before I break.
The man I fell in love with 13 years ago wasn’t aggressive (apart from to bullies - which is fair enough in my opinion). But now, I can’t leave the house with him without worrying about who he’ll take offence too. But at home, he’s loving, sweet and always so regretful of anything he’s done.
Currently in therapy for the fourth time, but constantly suicidal. The health services just don’t seem to care though. It takes five weeks to just be seen by a doctor to either up or change his meds. Plus over 1.5 years to just get close to getting him the meds he needs for his adhd (was diagnosed as a kid - pretty much the dictionary definition of it in adulthood - mixed in with PTSD). I just want the guy I love back.
Not asking for advice, more just writing it down to get it off my chest. Also have my first therapy session in two days. First since before the traumatic event that started this shit show, not first ever.
Feel free to rant below if you feel you need it.
