I am so sorry that you are going thru this. It's awful when you live with that fear. I felt like that too when I have left my husband in the past. Fortunately he was not suicidal and has never threatened to take his own life. Has your husband threatened suicide, or is it just something you fear? Do you think he has suicidal tendencies? Have you attended Al-Anon meetings before? I found Al-Anon to be a great deal of support for me when I was having anxiety like this. For me it helped to have people who knew what I was going through around me to love and support me. Friends and family who were well meaning did not understand exactly what it was like to live with an alcoholic. Please feel free to email me anytime if you need to talk. It's hard when you feel you have no one who understands. Bless you! Michelle

I'm scared. A friend of mine took his own life 2 days ago. He drank , he was going through a nasty divorce and all the time he told me that he never wanted to live without his wife and how much it hurt him when she left. My fear is that my husband may do the same thing. I know he loves me in his own way and he is very very dependent on me regarding every aspect of his life, I dont want to hurt him but i cant stay with him anymore, the only that has kept me there with him is that i feel sorry for him.
