I give you a lot of credit for leaving your husband. I am in a somewhat similar situation. My husband and I have been together for 18 years and married 3 years. He is an alcoholic and developed cirrhosis 6 years ago. He was a very charming man who everybody loved but at home it was different but I put up with it because I'm strong and always looked beyond. Last year my husband developed emphysema which crippled his breathing and was forced to go on disability in May of this year. Since he's been home his drinking has gotten out of control which made accelerated his liver disease and there is nothing left for him but a liver transplant which he will never get because he's an alcoholic and I know I for sure no doctor vouch for him (I know I wouldn't). His breathing has gotten worse too he can hardly make it up the stairs anymore. Depression has kicked in making matters worse. He is nasty, mean, grouchy, picks a fight out of the blue, blames me for everything that goes wrong AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, curses me out and insults me and my family all the time. I have no friends left because nobody wants to associate with me because of my husband. I want to believe that it's his medical condition is causing these mood swings and change in personality however, I can honestly say I am miserable. I can't leave him because with my salary It would be impossible for me to make ends meet. It's sad to find out there are so many others like me out there. We have to stay strong and for those who can get away from the situation I admire your courage.
