Living and coping with my partner who is alcohol dependent

Hi,

I’m totally new to this but hoping it will help.

My partner is an alcoholic I have been with him 3years now.

Several things have happened over the past few years and a couple of weeks ago it got bad.

I took my partner to the hospital where they assessed him through the mental health team, they then advised him to self refer for help.

He has been to one meeting which is great.

But I’m really struggling to trust him.

He said that this has been ongoing for nearly ten years now which has made me feel stupid and our relationship a lie.

I have also attending an organization to help me but My mental health is at rock bottom, we are on the brink of losing our home, I have no money at all. I’m starving myself to make sure there is plenty food for my partner.

I was just wondering if there was any advice for me on how to cope and deal with things as I’m really struggling to the point Of no return.

Sorry for the long post
