I am looking for some advice, i am lost & frustrated. I have been with my partner for over two years. 3 months ago we moved interstate, back to his home town. His father is an alcoholic and used to beat up on his mother. (His mum as since remarried) My partner has not spoken to his father for about 5 or 6 years. Coming home has bought back all his feelings, anger etc. He has trouble coming to terms with his father not wanting to know him. About a month ago he started drinking again (he has been sober for 1 year), he wasn't coming home till midnight, drink driving, spending money etc. About 3 weeks ago he broke up with me when he was drunk. He has given me no reasons, tries to avoid me, he is still drinking. It was only a couple of weeks ago when he started talking about marriage and starting a family. I have never pressured him about marriage. His mum and him plan to go counselling - nothing has happened as yet. I love this man with all my heart, i want to help him, i can't give up on him. How can i help him? Thank you.
