Seriously this will be my last post, I did need to clarify.
The point wasn’t to hurt you. But I tend to be blunt with people who drink. My brother is an alcoholic, my grandfather was before he died, and my FIL was before he died.
They all have certain things in common. Nothing was ever their fault, they skew things that happened or make mountains out of mole hills to play the victim. They also have all died or are on their way to dying alone. Their family gets burned out on trying to help them. And I’m not saying a suicide attempt was making a mountain out of a molehill. There was just a red flag of the 15 mins with no breathing comment for me personally.
I wasn’t trying to be insensitive, what I’m trying to say is you need help. This board can be a great tool to help you understand the break down of your marriage, and become the best version of yourself. But with the added issue of your drinking that you are still partaking in with having a history of a drinking problem and the mental health issues, you do need professional help on different levels.
If I’m being honest, and I know it hurts, but what it sounds like is your marriage was destroyed by your drinking, and yet you continue to do so. If you don’t get help it’s only a matter of time before your relationship with your kids and grandchildren is negatively affected.
Do what you need to do to get help, please feel free to post, I won’t comment. Maybe here’s the moment I need to look at the situation and see maybe I’m taking this situation differently because of my own experience with family who drinks and I maybe not be in the best person to post on your thread.
I wish you the best of luck
