Well...there you go. He left tonight... He came home drunk....feel asleep on the couch for an hour. He had a go at me and the kids...slammed my hand in a draw. I asked him not to take it out on the kids. He told me not to start on him and he left....
I am left crying and a bit bemused... I have to work at 8am...and seem sane!
Are you getting to Al Anon meetings ? That is physical abuse, totally unacceptable. My prayers are with you, sending support. I am sure there are others here that will be able to give you more support. Keep coming back

Alcoholism brings chaos in its wake. Nobody should have to go through this alone. I hope you can get to a face-to-face meeting soon. There are also meetings online here. The more Al-Anon tools you have in your toolbelt, the better things can get. For now be assured that things CAN get better. You have the power to transform your life even if your A never changes one bit. Please do get started on the journey with us!
((((Kemmaw))))...time to practice letting go and acceptance...God it seemed like I was in those classes almost forever and in time the experience grows and you'll get much much better at it while things change also. You're sane...sad ...and sane. Keep coming back...
It's crushing to watch someone you love self-destruct. Normal people hit bottoms and are much quicker to recognize it and regroup.... An alcoholic keeps going down down down. Along with that, you keep going down down down with them. Sounds like you have reached your bottom though and some work in recovery will really help you regardless of what he does. You are going to be okay.
