Living With An Alcoholic

Blinded by love,twisted in pain,i didnt think id ever be his victim again,replied when im spoken to,done all that im told,all his meals cooked on time,his washing i fold...look after our children,several trips to the shop,my life aint worth living,wish his drinking would stop...Try my best to help him,try not to get in his way,oneday ill take our children,and have somewhere safe to stay...Cant handle his slaps,the punches,the mental abuse,free from his clutches,i need to break loose...I deserve to be happy,just like my friends,not stuck in this rut,where abuse never ends,i just need my freedom,to do as i please,not cowering in a corner not pleading on my knees...

Suzanne, my heart goes out to you. Please, please get out of this disastrous situation before you or your children get hurt. He does not deserve your love, your devotion, or your servitude! I do hope you find some peace in your writing.
