My heart is so heavy with guilt. I love an alchohlic he is more rotten the older he gets. Such a waist of life. I can't help him, and so deeply want to. I need help, I quit on him for the saftey of my children and me. But it just doesn't seem real. Why?

aunt honesty agony auntI guess the old saying goes you cannot help who you love. This is a very sad situation to be in for you. As you are watching the man you love ruin his life. Am glad you got out of it though if not for your own sake then for your childrens sake. Maybe it would help you understand him more if you spoke to someone in relation to addicts. They may be able to help you understand. But you are right you cannot help him only he can help himself. He has obviously lossed you and this still is not enough for him to want to come of the alcohol. So the only thing you can do now is accept he chose the alcohol over you and try and move on. Speak to a councellor if you are really starting to struggle. Goodluck Hunny.
