Purpose of me posting this video is to help others out there, to realize what an alcoholic is and to see first hand in identifying domestic abuse, whether it is verbal, physical and mental. Now, in this video it is pretty much verbal and mental, even though it did leave to physical on two occasions.

UPDATE: 12/5/18 – for the record, two days after this video was made. I left him because I was no longer able to take it anymore, especially as I was seven months pregnant during the recording of this video. I had the baby a month later. However, we had tumultuous beginnings with custody, but with work for our child we persevered and came with a custody agreement, legally binding through conciliation. It wasn’t easy, but was worth for our son. Then we went to co-parenting counseling which was by far life saving. Lastly, he can do whatever he wants even drink, but he wont do it around our son and as for me, I havent drank since I found out I was pregnant, which is two years and nine months ago. Lastly, I also wan to say that I have a speech impediment due to the fact I have been deaf/hard of hearing my entire life. Been wearing a hearing aid since I was two. Now completely deaf in my left ear while wearing a cochlear implant in my right, that I got about 20 yrs ago. Waiting to get another implant in my left ear.

11/18/16 At 3 am he comes home like this every weekend and I am also 37 weeks pregnant, which also means I can go into labor any minute now, my too. Me and my eleven year old son just moved in with him about a week ago and he said to me with promises that he would stop drinking and try too. I really believed him considering the fact he is a Integrated Dual Disorder Specialist and a therapist for those with AOD. Unfortunately, he doesn’t practice what he preaches. When he drinks, his abusive nature comes out and all hell breaks lose. I was sleeping before this was recorded and woke up due to the face he smacked me in my face twice, then denied it by gaslighting me saying it was a reflex from sleeping. At this point I want to move out but due to the fact my insurance from work denied me short term disability ( for maternaty leave) and I get paid not so well at my job i cannot afford to at the moment being on maternity leave. However I do plan on leaving once I save enough money. I have expressed help to my father but he refuses to help out because he is old and doesn’t understand the magnitude of the abuse I receive from my fiancΓ© every weekend. His demeanor and behavior gets worse the next day when he is hungover which is even more terrifying than when he is intoxicated. I do fear for mine and my childs life when he is hungover. This is video number One.
