Am I stupid for not leaving? It's been less than two weeks since the last broken vow. "I know you don't believe me but I'm not going to drink anymore I can't loose you."

I asked are you going to the store at first he said he wanted to but wasnt. The second time I asked it was if he was waiting for it. He went of course. If I kick him out he will be homeless and that hurts my heart. He has no where to go to, no money saved, no family.

Also been taking care of his baby cousin who's in a really bad situation. She 14 smart and her mom like his, is a violent drunk so she's over here four days a week. If I leave him I don't know if her mom will let her still come over. She came over crying today her mom telling her she is worthless.
It's too much, feeling trapped.

He's completely pushed me out of his life. We don't...
Alcoholism is so very often a family disease - grandpa's gift that just keeps on giving pain and dysfunction through the generations.
Your guy needs help, but he has to be ready to walk that walk himself. His cousin needs help too, but you are probably doing far more benefit to her than you realize.
may the force be with you
