I don’t worry about myself being liable so much, because I am not doing the same and I am saying no and demanding it to stop.

I could kick my son out but he is working on moving out anyway.

My son is acting typical for his age, and I don’t blame him for taking advantage of the green light my husband gives him..it’s my husband who would have to change his ways and I guess he isn’t going to.

My husband is asleep at the wheel.

It was very difficult for me to start this thread and get this out. I almost had an anxiety attack at work today because of it. Like I said, I grew up with an alcoholic, and mentally ill father, and that was very traumatizing. I have come a long way from how weak and sick I used to be in this relationship. I’m not that way now, but I’m not sure what is there.

My husband has changed a lot, but still.

I really don’t know what to think right now.

Thank you, and everyone else for interacting with me. I needed support.

I just am having a hard time being honest about how I feel because I’ve been of a certain mindset for so long.
Thank you for sharing. I think you’d really find some good support in al anon and maybe similar support groups where other people are in the same boat. You didn’t cause it and you cannot change it but you get help for yourself.

I was in a relationship with functioning alcoholic. Went to al anon. Tried this and that. He kept relapsing. And I was done. 5 years after I left him he still drinks and obviously drinks worse (we have mutual friends) and I am happily married, my husband doesn’t drink at all.

Do seek help for yourself. You can’t change him

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
