I'm really not sure what to do. Four separate people have told me they are concerned for me and my daughter and that they thing my boyfriend is a depressive alcohlic. Two of our three housemates have said they are seroiusly considering if they can stand living with him any longer.
I've told him he needs to cut down on his drinking, and he's doing really well, but people are still telling me these things.
When he has a drink or two, he becomes really negative and, well it's hard to describe, but his speech becomes violent. Not towards anyone in particular, just things like saying certain celebrities should die in a horrible way or something. He also makes really inappropiate jokes about friends who are not present.
I think he's depressed, but he won't seek any help so I don't know what to do. I love him more then anything (apart from my baby of course) and I want to stay with him, I don't know what I'd do without him, I'm on loads of mental health drugs etc myself, and he has looked after me, but how can I pay him back for that if he won't even admit there's a problem?
