Pam,
I can't imagine what you must be going through. Not sure if he's been drinking even tho he smells of the alcohol and behaved as tho he had; and if by some remote chance he is telling you the truth; then how do you react.

In the past, his telling you he wouldn't admit if he had; adds to the suspicion. If he did drink, as you mentioned, as long as he is in denial, this will make starting recovery again very difficult.

All this along with your non-stop pain, moving things getting ready for new carpeting, etc. and his attitude has to be so difficult on you. I am so sorry you are dealing with all this without any support.

Pray you will stay strong.....


Gerry
