Living with a Drunk

what my life is like everyday

Another horrible day

@ 04:53 AM (39 months, 8 days ago)

Today has started as any other day. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place with him(I will call him just HIM) I don't know what to da anymore nor where to turn. My biggest problem is I feel sorry for him and GOD please tell me whay that is so true. Why should I feel sorry for someone who isn't capable of caring for himself never mind his family. I am lost and not sure anymore why I stay. Not sure if I even love him anymore > He makes that nearly impossible with his nastiness. Yes he is mean and violent and abusive at times but mostly he is mentally abusive.. I will write more later..

  1. Hi Sheryl! I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. It must be hard, and even harder to leave. It took my Mom about 24 years to leave my Dad...and just made it harder to do so because of having more kids. Now she has left him, and has found a job and is doing so much better. It's hard to leave, I understand. The world is a scary place...sometimes the place that you are at seems better than it could be to you. If you ever want to chat...email me....although perhaps your blog brings you some comfort.

  2. I feel your pain. I too live with a drunk. Today my children from a previous marriage came over to celebrate my birthday. I guess you know the rest of the story. I lived with a drug addict and drunk for 13 years the first time. I stayed single for 5 years. I then met my current husband and the first year was great. Then the drinking and the verbal abuse. We have a child together and everyday I wait to see if things will change. Seven years later and I am still waiting. I don't want to hurt my 5 year old the way I hurt my older children by leaving but I hate my life and what it has become. We fight regularly and I ask myself why? Did I cause this? I feel your pain and every word is written on my heart.

  3. Guess I am in the same boat. I am very inteligent and yet stupid enough to stay ... he has control over everything now and I guess I dont have anything left... except a little bit of me.
    He is also very verbally abusive and sometimes I get in little pokes but it just doesnt compare. So when do we know or have enough strength to stop it?

  4. So here i am...i have read everyones comments and it scares me a little. I was blaming the verbal abuse on his past family upbringing. Now i think i see reality a little more. I wish i would have done this serarch before i got married. I question if i would have married him. We got married in nov.05, up to about last week, July 24, i was soo in love. So happy. Now, im hurting because the man whom i gave my life too, who i trusted to love protect and respect me said the most discusting vile, degrading, dehumanizing words i have ever heard come out of his mouth. I was soo hurt for days after.I gave him a card recently that talked about verbal abuse begged him to never go there again with me, he was soo sincere so loving after i thought just maybe we got passed it. then today, he told me he liked his beer more then me. im so tired of being hurt and it feels like it has just begun after i have read peoples candid thoughts. im scared that i made the bigges mistake of my life marrying him. Is there any hope for him, for us..How?

  5. I am sorry for you ( Newlywed) you have just started out . Leave now it only get worst. Is alway better the day after. He is nice sweet and does almost everything you ask. He says he will never do anything yo hurt you . BUt infact the meer words he said last night cut you like a knife. And the words he will say the next time will cut you again. If you decided to sat ( and I hope you dont) the word will end up being noting any words he sai the "I love you" or the "I can't stand you " he will say he is sorry and you will tink yo yourself yes you are sorry. YOu will walk on egg shells so he won't drink. That won't work. you will do all you can and nothing will work, The reason I am telling you this is because I am 39 years old and I am still stuck. I have 3 children and we all say the samething when he goes out with his friends . We hve oru cloths pack sitting by our doors. Ready to leave when he walks in sometimes we are gone before he gets home.I have asked him to leave many times . Infact I have move manytimes. All I have is problems, I knw my life is not over but I am so mad with my self because I ALLOWED this to happen to me and my kids. I did no body but me. the word is feeling sorry , Please do feel sorry for him, it won't get better it will only get worse. Please open your eyes TODAY and leave even if he is sober. That would be the best time to leave so he knows why you are leaving. get out while you are still young and you have you life ahead of you. You are thinking what if he meets someone else and become a better person. He is who he is . He fooled you he will fool another person too! THen the real person wil comeout all you can do is just watn then that is all. But you deserve to be happy. Get ou now!

  6. i have been married for 17 years. i hate when my husband comes home. i hate that alcohol smell, cig smell and that glossy eyed look. my husband has no morals, does not help with family issues, does not contribute to the children. he does not share wisdom, play games. he does not interact with us. he prefers to be alone. i find empty beer cans, wine bottles, anything for his fix. i am very alone and very sad. i have no where to go. my friends do not know of my husbands abuse. they think he travels. i am able to care for my children and will be there for them.

  9. I live with my soon to be husband, he loves pot and to drink. He becomes so desprete for both he would even spend his last dolor for either one. Having work the next morning dont affect him. I work part time and like to get to bed by 11pm he keeps me up till 132am sometimes looking for his pot. I am the driver he lost his licence to DUI 2xs... BUt These are the things that barther me most. I am not to concerned that I have not orgasamed in 6 months? or who knows, all he wants is me to pleasure him. SOrry I got off track --any one have to go threw same thing or similor?
