Letter to My Husband

Today, it was like a light bulb went off in my head. My husband is emotionally abusive. He's depressed, he's an alcoholic and he's angry. He has such severe mood swings, I think he's bipolar. He's selfish. His mom said he makes her uncomfortable. He has completely changed from the man I met and married. He won't even go to our child's doctor appointment. We even have to go back on Friday, and he said I shouldn't take her, she's fine. She has RSV and one of the little girls at our church is in the hospital because of it! He doesn't care how serious it can be. He sleeps all the time. He starts work Monday, so I hope that will help him. But, I can't keep living the way things are. I have had severe postpartum depression, and he doesn't care. He always tells me to "stop saying stuff like that" whenever I would talk about it. This was my letter to him that I'm hopefully giving to him today. I've tried talking but all that does is start a fight and our fights get ugly fast.

Pretty much he gets help or I leave for good.

I just need encouragement to have the guts to give it to him. I'm afraid, honestly. I'm afraid he'll tell me to just leave or he will leave. I don't want a divorce. But, I can't continue living like I am, and I hate to drag my daughter down such a horrible messy road.

Should I give it to him? Please help.
