Hello Herts_Lady

Welcome to the board.

Sorry to read of your very difficult situation right now.It does sound quite serious.Is there anyone else you can stay with for a few days?

I'd also arrange that GP visit as soon as possible.Your council should move you up on the list as you would be higher priority I presume?

How did you get on at the support group? There are a few posters at the moment who live or who are dealing with an alcoholic in their lives so please stick arround for more support should you want it  xx

Hello there

I know you are very upset and angry with the situation, but I don't think no-one will help or is helping you. It sounds as if your care support worker has the right idea about going to your doctor. If things have got so bad for you that you are considering violent action towards your mother's husband, then you are doing all the right things by enlisting the help of them and of al-anon (or whichever support group you ar going to)

Offloading here also helps sometimes when you feel that you are at the end of your tether and while we may not be able to change your situation practically it sometimes can help to know that you're not alone.

The fact that you felt driven to such drastic action with the knife, does worry me a great deal so please make sure you tell your care worker about it. NOthin can ever be solved by violence, though so please please tell your GP and your health worker, how serious this is for you.

The meeting I attended was al-non the way the group was talking to me about my situation it's as if I am trying in vain to stop his drinking although it's a disease which only he can stop himself. I have become obsessed with it now I check to make sure there is no alcohol brought into the house, I constantly say no drink. This should be my mother saying this to him not me. We are all living on our nerves here.

I have an appointment next week at the council so I am going to say my bit and probably lose my temper if nothing gets done. My own relationship with my partner is suffering because of all this upset. My head feels like it's going to explode. I don't have many people who will put me up plus its not the same being without my belongings.

I do worry that if I eventually get a place of my own how will things be here without me to keep eye on situation
