I started a thread a little while ago about my partner. To brief you:
Partner = Andy Son = Jacob
My partner is an alcoholic. He doesn't drink everyday, but once he has had just one sip he is unable to stop, I found him a bedsit, and paid a few weeks rent and deposit. Then I sent him there to get himself sorted....
To the Update....
He kept coming round to mine to see our son, then I went away for work for 4 days and I let him stay at mine so he could look after the cats. Jacob stayed at my mums as Andy can't be trusted to be responsible.
When I came back, Andy stayed. It wasn't intentional, but by this time he hadn't had a drink for 4 weeks, which was a big achievement. Following all of that, things have been good. We took Jacob to the zoo, I had my birthday, and he had his. Things were happy....until Friday. It had been 6 weeks since his last drink, and I had to work, although I don't usually work Fridays. The childminder had started working at a creche and couldn't have him, so I thought I would trust Andy to look after him. He took Jacob to feed the ducks, where there is a river side pub.....
He wasn't drunk, far from it but he had a drink and kept trying to give me excuses of why he needed to go out that night. I made better excuses as to why he didnt need to, so he fell asleep, at 6pm and couldn't even wake up at 10am the following morning.
And today. He took the day off work because he wasn't feeling well, so I thought Jacob could stay with him as Andy would probably just lounge around all day. But no, I asked Jacob what he had done today, and he said he had fed the ducks.....
I'm crying so hard,
hes asleep on the sofa again, its 9pm. I don't know what to do. He's given up the bedsit and handed the keys back, All my saving went into financing the bedsit so I can't afford to spend out on another.
Please Help...
