My daughter is off school this week and my partner is supposed to look after her. Which he did up until he decided to go and get wine from the shops. I got home to find him quite drunk. He got angry when I threw the bottle away and turned quite nasty. My daughter kept asking why papa was not very nice. I rushed her dinner and bed time routine to get her to sleep early hoping he'd fall asleep, which eventually he did. I was thinking of taking her to a hotel in the worst case scenario because I could tell he wasn't able to control his temper. I told my colleague at work who helped me get some prospective. I then emaed my boss whose husband is in AA and asked to work from home for the rest of the week explaining that I can't leave him with her.

He's such a good dad but when he drink he's no longer the man I love. He let's 'him' in our home and subjects me and my daughter to 'his' nastiness.

He can stay off the booze for a few days but then has this craving which he does not seem to be able to control. 

And tonight I was scared. 

He refuses to seek help willingly. We all know we can't force them to. 

What now?
