Welcome to the board--I found that some of the best advice through my breakup was given to me by complete strangers on this board, so hopefully you will find that to be the case too. As far as your situation, I think you already know what you need to do. You write that you're unhappy (for good reason, might I add) and that you're anxious to get into a healthy, happy relationship, but that you're scared to take that step for good. You know what you need to do, and while walking away from this situation with "Jeff" might be frightening, very frightening in fact, on the other side awaits a brand new life full of happiness, free of the worries of alcoholism, cheating, lying, arguing and pain. The uneasiness of taking the first step and holding yourself not to return to Jeff might be difficult at first, but you'll be so much better off in the long run. I wish you all the best in your decision and hope you feel strong enough to make the break soon!

Welcome to the board twin2ams,


So Jeff is addicted to alcohol, has violent outbursts and as nicely as possible, you are addicted to Jeff, the drama and can't see a way out.
