What do you do when you have no options [View all]

My husband gets drunk and is extremely verballally abusive, but sober he is kind...

When he drinks, I drink...though I would like NO ALCOHOL ever in this house.

Unfortunately, he is drunk more often than he is sober, as am I.

I am trapped in this house, trapped in this relationship...

I am sorry I came here since there is nothing to be done.
