My husband is a depressive alcoholic and his mood swings have caused great upset to our two children.
He left the family home in Easter this year, at the time I didn't know that he had any mental health problems I thought that he left because he was seeing someone else.
Since then however I have tried to get him help via the doctor, social services and other organisations but he doesn't want to know.
I work part time so I can't be with him all the time, when he's had something to drink (usually between 10-18 cans of beer) he is very aggressive and abusive, and although I go to his flat and help him tidy up I can't cope anymore.
I am physically and mentally drained with the abuse he shouts at me and our eldest child is scared of him
his mother says I should end the relationship and get on with my life and he'll be fine, but I don't think I can let go that easily.
He has threatened to kill himself on many occasions and I don't know I should do?
