My husband is drunk and passed out before 4pm

He doesn’t really drink much. Maybe once a year. His dad was an alcoholic and he is an addict in recovery although alcohol wasn’t his drug of choice.

I am irritated because I know he is doing this to avoid his feelings and and I am afraid he is in a dangerous mental state.

There is not much I can do at this point.

And yes kids are fine. There are plenty sober adults in the house.

I can understand the desire to numb the pain, I can also understand your worry that he is going to spiral. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you both 💚. If anything he will regret it if this is how he spends the last of his time with you. Hopefully it’s just a temporary lapse.

I had no idea that your husband was dealing with this so badly. I have to say that I can't imagine being in either his or your shoes, but for the love of god I hope that he can pull himself together. I'm sure this isn't how he wants to spend the time that he has left with you. You should let him know that you need him to be there for you, and that you need him to prove to you that he can take care of everything once you're gone. I would be livid if I was you. I hope that you get to talk everything out, and have some quality time together.

@Nightwings He hasn’t been doing well for several days now but I didn’t expect him to just get shitfaced in the afternoon today.

I am pretty upset but mostly just worried. He is going to have to talk to me and stop shutting me out after this behavior.

@SwampFlower I was confused about why he was being cold the other day, but I think I get a clearer picture now. Honestly I'm so sorry that he resorts to pushing you away, that is not what you or anybody in your situation needs. I'm hoping that perhaps this can lead to a good conversation between you guys sometime tomorrow, and change things going forward. It's understandable that you're worried about him. /=
He's entitled to be... I can't imagine the pain he's going through knowing what's happening to you... He's needing a moment, and probably feel like 😩 later too..

@AbsolutelyFabulous I hope it’s just a moment and not the beginning of a spiral.
@SwampFlower I hope so too✨💕❤

A break is OK - as long as it's just a moment. He will need to be strong, not a small task. All you can do is remind him that you need his assurances that things will be OK. 🙏💪

Hoping he finds the strength to bounce back from this .. and you to forgive his mistake if he does. ♥

Reality just got realer, eh? He's obviously feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders but this isn't going to help. I imagine he's going to be embarrassed & headachy when he does come up.

Tough for you both plus the kids

I hope he gets a hold on himself. 😤

@SUPERVlXEN I wouldn’t, I’m just mad.

@SwampFlower
I know and I think it's fair to be mad.
How much alcohol do you have left in the house?

If necessary maybe pour it all down the drain

@ThirstenHowl I don’t know. I didn’t know he had any.
@SwampFlower you should definitely tell him how you feel about it, and if there are multiple people there today witnessing him passing out so early, everyone should let him know this is concerning and hot helpful to anyone

@ThirstenHowl There will definitely be a discussion when he sobers up
<3 <3 like for real ik how hard it is
