Living with an addict [View all]

My "partner" of course, asked me to stop at CVS for wine. Hes had incidents of drinking until falling hes 72 and peeing on the floor etc. He almost started a fire.

Everyone tells me "go out", but I can't relax bc I worry about what I'll come home to. I worry about walking in to him lying on the floor passed out. Or worse. A burned down home.

Unless you live with this, you really don't get it.
