I've been carrying a very heavy weight on my shoulders for 7 years now, I need to let it all out and maybe ask for some help/support/advice.
My husband is addicted to benzodiazepines and alcohol. Right now I'm finding it very hard to cope with his behaviour, being a mum and turning up to work everyday.
Everything I read is all about the addict, supporting them through their darkest times, but for once, just once I want to know what I should do for me. I've lived through the disappearing, lying, spending money alongside the heartache and verbal abuse. But what do I do now?? I really feel like I can't go on another day, the empty promises and tears and apologies don't even help anymore. So where do you go if one half of your partnership has totally distanced themselves from real life by using drugs and alcohol and the other has no more energy to give???
Please help!
