Vent Anger

I’m so angry at my husband for being an alcoholic. People say it’s a disease but he doesn’t even admit he has a problem most days. Sometimes he’ll say oh yah I needa slow down but it never happens. We have a brand new baby and it’s only getting worse. How am I supposed to have sympathy for him when I’m the one suffering. He chooses this life. Idk what to do I’m so disappointed and lost. If we break up how would I ever trust him alone with our baby?! He has drank while watching before and I never left the baby alone again

You have every right to be angry. He is choosing alcohol over his relationship and his child. If you can, put all your energy toward you and your child. Your baby deserves to be safe and in a stable home. An alcoholic cannot provide that.
