Pressures of life are bad enough without having to put up with a manager like that. Remember you're not alone in all this and you know there are people out there who can help you, but you've got to try and help yourself. First things first, get an appointment with your GP and explain the situation, then contact HR at your company, reporting your line manager for his repeated drunken behaviour. Having got that out the way, celebrate your sons 7th birthday.

You wouldn't have got your promotion if you didn't deserve it. Please remember that. You've earned it, and you are more than capable of doing your job. It's your line manager that's at fault here, for being such an a$$.

thank you for your kind words theres a problem though the man who got me the promotion is the man with the drunkern behaviour , its a small company and he has worked there for 34 years and the boss thinks very highly of him know one dare speak up , i will go to doctors tomorrow

Stop downing yourself. You got that promotion based on your ability to perform at your job. The boss had better start looking at employment law and his responsibility towards all his employees, not just your line manager. His behaviour is nothing short of bullying, and the company boss has to resolve this or face being taken to tribunal by either you or another employee. Glad you're seeing the doctor tomorrow, and do have a great time with your son tomorrow
