I am currently in a relationship with a guy who is going through a lot. We've been dating for 6 months now. I love him and care for him so much. And I know he does the same. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. With what he has only thing he knows how to do is drink. He drinks constantly. When he does start drinking, he can't stop. Some of the reason why he does I think is to help him to forgets his problems. I know for myself that when a person drinks it doesn't solve a thing. He was in the Military for 10 years. He has been homeless several times due to drugs. So, I don't really know if that would be part of his problems that he has to face. I want to help him but I don't know how to. I really want this relationship to work. Because I know out of all the guys I've dated in the past, never really cared or loved me like he does. With him too I've got trust. But, the way I feel over a person that drinks, I can't deal with it. I have a father right now that is drowning his mind with alcohol. For years until this day. He chose to drink. He chose that over a his family. So my mother divorced him. He always ran my mother and all of us away, put my mother down like it was nothing. I don't want that to happen to my boyfriend and I. I already had to take off and not see him for a couple days because of his drinking. When he gets to drinking, he verbally abuses me. And when the day I left him, couple days later I confronted him about it. Told me he doesn't remember none of that. But when he is sober he's so good to me. I don't know if he talks out of his head while drinking when he has that schizophrenia disorder but I just don't wont one day he will get out of control and hurt me. He does want to change. I can see it. What is really upsetting him is he has no job. He's living off on a vet. check. That's mostly what is bothering him. I don't know how to help him but to be there and let him talk out his feelings to me or try to support him. Like I said I want to be able to help him but don't know where to start.
