My hubby had been having problems with drinking... He hit me a couple weeks ago and has been sober for a while until recently he thought he would be sweet and buy me wine, only for him to drink half.... He ended up turning nasty and hitting me again, me and the baby are going to my parents. Has anyone been through this? Insight please!
Re: Please send happy vibes
I work in the addictions field and can tell you that your husband needs professional help - but I think you already know that. They best thing you can do to support him is to maintain boundaries - which can include refusing to move back in until he is receiving help. Or you can kick him out until he gets help. I HIGHLY suggest you start going to Al-Anon meetings even if only for education and support for you. You should get into counseling for yourself and he should get his own counseling. Also plan to do family sessions together before reconciling so you can establish boundaries and expectations together (for example be clear about what will happen if he drinks again).
If you have any questions or need any type of support feel free to PM me.
Everyone has given really great advice so I'm just going to send you hugs and tell you to stay strong. Don't give in and don't go back until he is getting good help and has shown that he is changing. Really changing, not just promising to change. It will take a lot of strength on your part but you can do it. It is what is best for you and the baby.
