I feel manipulated. My husband will drink and become very depressed and suicidal whenever I am doing something for example out with my friends, working,visiting my family. Why only when I'm not home does he do this? I feel like I can't go anywhere without my kidsbecause I worry what he will do. If he is alone it's a sure sign he will do something. I want to do things enjoy things. I can't leave his side. I feel like I am his security blanket and he can't live without it. Help!

Yeah,you can't let him manipulate you like that. This is maybe where some misunderstand. It's not about not caring about your husband, it's about keeping your life healthy. For him to threaten to do things if you do not stay by his side, is his responsibility, not yours. Obviously you can't leave your kids with him if he seems unsafe. But you cannot let him control your life like that for sure. I don't think our spouses understand and see this is uncaring behavior. It isn't uncaring at all. Caring isn't controlling and manipulating, it is having an honest concern for another. We can't control what actions they take and we wish for them to stay safe. That outcome once again is not up to us and we cannot take responsibilty (guilt) for it.
