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
Send him to rehab now so he’ll be sobered up before your done with pregnancy
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
I think my husband is cheating on me 😔he’s been acting really different. There are times he doesnt text back or answer his phone. He’ll block me or turn off his phone. Then he’s gone for hours at a time and he doesn’t want me to go anywhere with him. Today he changed my name in his phone and deleted a whole bunch of stuff.
Outrageous!
A 5 year old was detained and questioned at his school for taking a toy gun to show his friend. He was so scared he wet his pants and his parents weren't notified until 2 hours into the questioning. He was suspended for 10 days, but it was reduced to the 3 days he had already served after the parents and others complained. The school stated that the situation was handled appropriately and would be handled in a similar manner in the future.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
