My Boyfriend/ex is an alcoholic
My ex and i broke up a week ago, I really loved him alot. We were together for two and a half years and lived together for two. At the start of our relationship he was perfect. He started drinking all the time and was a totally different person when he drank it got worse and worse untill eventually we were screaming at each other it got fairly violent aswell. We'd been kicked out of every single house we lived in because he was so loud and would yell every night when he got drunk. He drank every single night and would constantly abuse me. Dealing with other problems he had nerve damage he coulden't feel hes hand was suffering from depression and hes dad was very sick in hospital i dont know if these are good enough excuses. I was frustrated he started smoking weed ontop of the alcohol which just made him go absolutley nuts!. He'd verbally abuse me and sometimes it got physical. So one week ago we broke up. Since then he has been in hospital detoxing on valium etc. He has been calling me promising me he won't drink ever again and he regrets everything and hes not that type of person he never ment any of it and was having trouble dealing with everything in hes life. Since i've came back to my parents house i've felt alot happier and more motivated to do things. But i still feel like a piece of me is missing i care about him so much i dont know what to do.. ?? Forgive and try to move forward or start my own life and meet someone else.
