I am so aggravated at my husband. He is an alcoholic and I have endured many years with him. We have 6 children, all grown up now, and i am just pondering the idea of leaving, He said he was never going to quit drinking, everything he has is because i work for our living. I feel so sorry for him but i think enough is enough, and yes i probably just need to put it down in pen, but i still am tired of it. I was mad when i started this out, but as i hear him sitting there and writing this i feel more sad for him..

I hate to say leave, but if he has not intention in  changing things it may be the best thing you ever do for yourself. You need to have some happiness, it is never too late to live your life for yourself.

Do not feel sorry for him, he is not sorry or is not asking for forgiveness for the actions and problems he has caused. Think things through and find some support, not financial, emotional support. Of family and friends that will help you find ways to help you get the life you deserve. One without fear, or anger or anxiety of the unknown monsters that alcohol bring out.

“Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses”

Something as simple a that tells you what to do. Leave the injury (emotional injury) and never forget kindness. Go find that someone or someplace of kindness that you deserve.

 I guess it's too late for him to change, he will not and if he have that attitude, like you put him there, then I'm sorry to say, wake up and smell the roses. It's your turn to say "Enough is Enough" A martyr? we 're in the 21st century, so don't let him put you under spell, do not be sorry, how about You? did he ever feel that way? did he ever think I have to stop for her. My love, be strong, strong enough to say I will do it, for me and no one else, this is the only body you got, so please, call someone, go and seek  for any assistance. Don't linger anymore, if he don't respect you enough to change so be it...Life , your life must go on. Love yourself !!!.keep strong and think positive. God bless
