My ex (never married) 2 kids with him. He

My ex (never married) 2 kids with him. He is such a trigger for me. I try to talk to my supportive people, but they just dont understand. Blaming me for letting him do the things he does. All in all, I'm afraid of him and what he will do. He has lost his mind. I am not going to drink, but just seeing him gives me ptsd. I don't want him to hurt the kids with his words like he has me.

I’m praying for you because I know it’s very difficult when kids are involved & triggers really suck!!!. I would like to encourage you to Google Annie Grace because she can help you give up alcohol for good & also she can help you forgive yourself. It’s all compassion led & about showing yourself some grace. I read her 2 books … This Naked Mind & The Alcohol Experiment & they were both VERY enlightening!!. I have the This Naked Mind Companion App on my phone which is free. Annie Grace also has a podcast & she answers reader’s questions on YouTube. It’s very good science & psychology. Best of luck to you!!! :purple_heart:

He doesn't live with us it's been a year since he moved out. I'm trying I have set boundaries and he just doesn't care.

Thank you i am currently 174 days sober. I'll look into her books though.

Being sober gives you clarity on relationships
