Q&A: He’s an Alcoholic, What Do I Do?
Question by Aloha: He’s an alcoholic, what do I do?
My boyfriend of 4 years and father of our 2 year old son, is an alcoholic and has been for 15 or so years. It recently got worse, and tonight shit hit the fan, and I got physical with him. So he made me pack my shit up and said I better be out by tomorrow or else. We share a car, I don’t have a job, I don’t have any income, not even a credit card. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I want him to change more than anything, and he has chosen alcohol over myself and our son, time and time again. How long am I supposed to wait for him to change? He ADMITS he’s an alcoholic, but says “I don’t need any AA meetings” I am depressed, my son and I sit in the house all day long. I know he is getting depressed too. My dad was an alcoholic too and I don’t want my son going through this. What is it going to take for him to change? Leaving and taking his son?? I really don’t want to do that. Please help us
