Need advice

[Unregistered]

I believe my husband has a drinking problem and an anger problem. He drinks most nights and far to much in my opinion. He is also unpredictable he can get angry at the smallest thing. He has also threatened me with violance on several occasions.

I have approached him about his drinking problem but he denies he has one. I have approached him about his anger problem but he thinks its no big deal when he threatens me.

How can I get him on the right track to dealing with these problems when he is in denial. I want to build a future, but I feel like we can't move forward together until he overcomes these problems.

Hi there,

You may find this part (http://www.2-in-2-1.co.uk/marriageclinic/marfirstaid/index4.html) of the Marital First Aid Kit helpful. Denial is a common symptom for people who are struggling with an alcohol dependency. I hope you can find something there to begin to find a way fprward. Your husband is very fortunate to have you to support him.

best wishes

Kate
