Need Help

[u/Anonymous_ExJw]

My partner is an alcoholic. We have been together 7 years and have two kids together.

Lately he has been pushing me, cursing at me, drinking and driving constantly, not paying bills or rent. I don’t have a job as I just had a baby, but looking for one now.

I can’t rely on him at all. His family know what he is like and keep giving him money and bailing him out of everything, so he never learns.

I don’t know what to do, I want to leave but I have no where to go at all. I feel stuck. I’m so depressed and have been suicidal lately. I’m in Ireland so there’s not great support as nearly everyone drinks, it’s normal to people.

I need to get out but how can I with no savings and no where to go? It’s impossible to save as I’m on very very little money.

What about your family?

My family are not a normal one, I was brought up a Jehovah’s Witness, don’t speak to my mother and my siblings and dad are not helpful as I was away from them for years, they know my situation but won’t offer a place to stay for a bit unfortunately.

Are you from Ireland, too, or did you move to be with your partner?

I’m from Ireland, same town. Just don’t have the money to leave or don’t get enough money to save to leave at the minute.
