My husband threatened me..?
|
My husband has been drinking a lot in the past 2 years, it has gotten to the point to where he comes home so drunk he will fall asleep wherever he sits, or lays down. A month ago his daughter called me and told me that her dad was at home drunk and I needed to come home, when I did I found him asleep on our bedroom floor and there was puke in my bed! I tried waking him to get him in the shower and he swung at me and threatened to hit me. I got his kids and my 2 kids out of the house for the night. When I came home he never apologized for what he did, all he did was text me that day to ask where I stayed and where his kids were. Should I have left for more than one night? How do I get him to stop drinking? How much should I put up with? Additional Details Thank you all for your answers, so many of you have made good points its so hard to chose a "best answer". Thank you for taking the time to help me in this situation.

That's really tricky, because your conscience always wants to give him one more chance, but you can't keep taking this crap!
Give him ONE last chance to prove himself, and if he can't, try to get him to address his alcohol problem (alcoholics anonymous?) and then figure out whether you're going to support him or leave him. If he's turning violent, respect yours and your children's safety and go with your head held high!
:-) Good Luck! x x x |

Tell him that he needs to get help or you're going to leave. You're putting your safety and the safety of your children at risk. |

Ask him to go to AA, to save your relationship, for his health, and possibly go to couples councelling.
Tell him you can't live with his behavior.
If he says he won't, then leave, and tell him if he starts going to AA or councelling with you, then you will consider comming back only after 6 months or so.
FOLLOW THROUGH if you tell him anything though, otherwise you just make empty threats. |

1) He may not even remember the incident if he was that drunk
2) Is an apology going to fix the problem?
3) He will not stop drinking unless HE wants to. It will most likely not happen until he hits rock bottom, if it ever does happen.
4) Remember that he is your children's male role model, and his behavior is shaping the way that they will see a normal adult male. You daughters will think it is normal to live with a man who drinks till he vomits, and stays out all night. Your sons will think that is how they are supposed to act as men. |

no, you should not put up with this.
you need to show him you're serious, he's your husband, he's meant to be looking after you
as harsh as this sounds, the kids seeing their father like this will have a major impact too.
nip this in the bud fast
give him a fright and leave for a couple of days.
there's only so much you can take but you need to think of your children.
you both deserve more.
offer him your help and support but you can't make him cut back or stop the alcohol on your own. he needs to.
good luck! |

Hi, I say get out now. Most alcoholics never change. My mother has been married to my step father for 20 years. She will leave & he will stop drinking & a few months later is is drinking again. Please since your kids are way younger than me get them out. I had a awful childhood b/c of this man. Please be stronger than my mother. |

Get him help.
If that doesn't work, divorce.

Unfortunately he is the only one that can decide to quite drinking. Leaving him may be the catalyst he needs to change his behavior, but it may not, it depends on what is most important to him. Please don't stay in this abusive situation, leave now before he hurts or kills you or the kids. |
|

oh lala
|
You should talked to him..and don't put your kids in danger. |
|

well, first of all it sounds that he needs help at this point. you need to intervene & let him know if he doesn't get help for his drinking that he will need to find a new place to live, that you can't take anymore of this. Tell him to get treatment, or you're gone, and it would be good if you meant it. |

You need to put his *** into check. "Don't ever F*** try to hit me like that ever again." make it clear that if he does it's over. Trust me he will think twice next time, and put down your foot on the drinking. |

Yes, you are right. You should have stayed away until he decided to change. The road he is going is long and hard. The life he is leading will take you under with him. I pray he will straighten up.
Good Luck! |

no you shouldn't divorce him. when he is sober. and not busy during the day. sit down and have a quiet chat with him. it will be hard for him to stop drinking but he should at least try and cut down. tell him that there are kids in the house and he shouldn't have acted that way. i can only tell you more depending on how he reacts. maybe he has friends that you can talk to to try and stop him acting like this. i can only tell you more depending on how he reacts. i hope i help x |
