I have been with someone for 8 years. We have a 7 year old boy together. Recently, we broke up because I found out he is seeing someone else. The man I fell in love with would have never done this to me. Since this has happened he seems like someone else. A person that I don't reconize. Over the last year he has been taking Xanax, Prozac & comsumes large quanities of alcohol on a nightly basis. Can this combonation actually change the way someone thinks & acts?? I know that I may be grasping at straws but, none of what's going on makes any sense. I feel like I am in the twilight zone.[?]

Tracy...that'll do it!..I had a friend that did the same thing. Her sweetie went with another woman that also took drugs and drank.....A tremendous personality change occurred...It is so sad..but you do not want him around the child in that condition, anyway..He will either get help, or go straight down..Nothing you can do except tell him to get help if he will still talk to you..They usually do not even talk, as they are in such a state of guilt and denial...I wish you well..

He won't listen to reason. He yells at me and tells me this is all my fault. I was married before & had to boys. Their father hasn't seen them for the last 10 years so my current has been the only father they have known. He has kicked us all to the curb except for the child we have together. It's really hard because I see him everyday. We work at the same place. He's been there 20 years & I have been there 10. The sickest part of all of this is his good friend died in July at the age of 42. We went to the visitation together & I hugged the deceased with. My ex is with the widow. They started seeing eachother 1 1/2 months after her husband died. He flaunts her in my sons face & is already telling her that he loves her. I am normally a very strong person but, I have just watched my family fall apart in a matter of one month. Me & the 3 boys are hurting terribly & I don't know what to do. Thanks for listening.
