My husband is an alcoholic, he usually drinks a gallon of whisky a day... Stays up all night, sleeps maybe 2-3 hours a day and starts drinking again within an hour of waking from his “nap”... He’s a total mess right now and I can’t seem to get him the help he needs... Anyway, my concern is that he’s going to be too drunk to take me to the hospital and to even be present in my baby’s birth. Has anyone else had to deal with an issue like this?
@stephaniemoudy, he has to WANT the help or it won’t work. Unfortunately that may mean he won’t get help before you have the baby
your best advice is to leave him he needs a big wake up call and if ur pregnancy not doing what makes u think he will when the baby is born u can do this there are services you can go to apply for welfare if you have to if u want change you might need to make it bc u cant change someone who doesnt want it or how about cutting dwn his intake ur his woman u have a say wat he buys if hes had a few drink throw his shit away or hide it and tell him he has had enough and im helping u u can do this ..instead of cutting him cold turkey try not to be an enabler and take control ... he is ir man encourage him help him ..or tell him u will leave him scare him
@diegosmommy0213, I don’t have the financial means to support myself and kids and I have never family that I can go to for help.
He’s already gone to rehab (got out in August) it didn’t work. I fact he’s worse now than before rehab...
And yes I’ve tried talking to him about my concerns, I’ve had his friends tried to reason with him... Unfortunately his family encourages the drinking and has only told me that I should get an abortion. He says he wants to stop and keeps swearing he will... Or at least won’t be drinking when I go into labor, but when he’s drinking every single day how can that be guaranteed?
have you tried talking to him or im sorry to say have you gave him an old tumatum or however u spell it and be like hey we are gonna have this baby and ur drinking is a concern tell him how you feel .. bc im sure u dont want to raise ur child in that type of enviroment it seems like hes out of control and u might need to be prepared to make a hard choice if he cant get it together but try to reach out to fam or friends ti help u talk to him or get him help
@stephaniemoudy, can u leave n get child support ... it will get worse my dad like that I seen that bs my whole life it sucks thats y when I got married I made sure I didn’t marry a drinker.. bc it’s hard ... how long hv u two been married
