tired

I want someone to make this stop.  The draining fights and ups and downs....I  look at him and don't recognize the man anymore.  


I am exhausted from being the only adult, working as a high school teacher, taking care of our 4 kids ( one with special needs), and watching him spiral out of control.  He is getting meaner too.  4 to 5 hours of sleep is not enough.


Thanks for listening.

So very sorry to hear you are going through this with so much on your plate. I wish I could give you some words of advice, but after living with my AH for 34 years, I still don't ha e any answers. Just know that I understand. Sending hugs.

Totally can relate. It's truly hard.
I started ignoring my husband when he was drinking. I started just taking care of me and the kids and acted as if he wasn't there
I'm lucky he is now sober 5 years I think in July

Ceecee has it correct. Other twin you are a testimony for endurance.
There are no words. No magic potion. No fairy godmother.
Fatigue does not begin to explain the every day drain .
All we can do is hug you virtually.
