I agree pretty much with everything said here... first off he's being abusive - you've done enough - perhaps a week by himself will make him realize how much he needs you. Secondly it could be the mixing of meds and beer - one has to go... You can pour out the booze before you leave - or - hide the meds until he agrees no more booze... Call it tough love - the abuse may get worse at that point but - you have the power to leave. He could very easily kill himself with that combo. Thirdly - he's on a fast track to the grave... He's probably pissed at himself, the world, and his situation. He's taking it out on you. You're not his whipping boy and understanding goes only so far. You can try to help him... But truthfully he doesn't seem to want it... He's self destructive and taking you down with him. He is the only one at this point who can help himself. i wish the situation were different for you but unfortnately it's not and by taking his crap you are just giving him more power. Don't take his crap anymore. Take the dog and leave if you can. Hugs
