He got out on work release, so basically I would pick him up at 5:30 in the morning and drop him off at 6pm. We both work, so we got an average of one hour together a day.

This was hard enough, but while he was in jail he started changing...he used to be easy going and happy. Now he's always drunk (more than before) and pouts if no one will buy him beer (he's still 19). Early October, immediately after he got out of jail he told me he wanted to break up and he wanted me to find someone else.

So I did, like the next day...just to see what he would do (I know that's not healthy) and it's like he was suddenly interested in me again. He cried and begged me back and here we are...unhappy because HE is unhappy.

I love him and I don't want to leave him (I never really did), but I don't know how to help him.
You're young. Don't throw your life away by fucking around with this guy. He needs to straighten his shit out first.

I don't mean to be harsh, but sometimes love isn't enough.
