Plummie, I couldn't let this statement go without comment. You are not responsible for his behavior. He would like for you to believe that his going off into a drinking rage is your fault, because that's what addicts do. But you are no more responsible for his drinking than I am. Don't buy into the guilt that drives co-dependency.
