Hi Elaine, I too am trying to support my partner through this and into recovery. There are some good books out there worth reading (a couple are mentioned in another thread which are aimed at partners, which you may find helpful).

Good to read these posts. I have separated from my partner but am trying to be there for him as he has no one else. What I do want is to understand more than anything is how and why this happened .
Hi, I am supporting my husband, I have 2 children and SS want us to split up. We are not living together as per there say so and children do not have contact. It has now escalated, I feel as though nobody is listening and they do not want to help us.
