So i just learned my baby's father is going to start rehab for alcohol so he can be a better man for us 😕 i hope he's telling the truth, for himself as well as us. But i don't know what to do, yes his drinking was one of our main problems but he's also an avid liar and i don't know if i could ever trust him again 😕

I say give him one more chance since he's trying to make things better for you two. Make sure he's know this is his last chance and if he lies everything is done!

I've given him so many chances in the short time we were together and honestly he lies without thinking and he'll lie about anything 😕 @emmma i really don't know what to do. I would love for us to be a family but i know it'll probably just end with me being hurt 😕

Sometimes people are a completely different person because of drinking and he could change entirely! But if you are out of chances with him, that's understandable too. You are not obligated to risk your happiness. You do what's best for you :)

@morgans_mommie, i know. I'm just so torn because i do still love him and my dream is for us to be a family, but i just wish i knew how it would turn out....I'm just very confused right now.

In that case, I would give him a very short leash. Short fuse. He slips up ONE MORE TIME he's gone for good.because this could be a turning point for him. Or he could mess it up

Make sure he finishes treatment first, inpatient treatment is best. And then I would suggest counseling for both you and him and then just him. I know from experience how hard it is to trust an addict who's lied and hurt you countless times.

He's doing outpatient rehab. He's been to rehab before and it didn't stick, but his mother has very high hopes. I'm just not sure. I really wish i knew what to do but i guess i'll just have to see, thanks for the responses @morgans_mommie @coraanne

Absolutely! Maybe wait until after his treatment and see if YOU feel he's changed if you don't feel he has then either move on or tell him what YOU need to feel safe with him again.

@coraanne, i will wait to see until after he finishes, because honestly with how much he put me through towards the end of our relationship there is no way i could even consider being with him again if i didn't see major changes. I just really hope he does because i do still love him a lot but i had to do what was best for me and my baby. I hope he knows what he needs to do and actually does it. Thank you so much
