Suicidal, married to an alcoholic... Needs help

I am married to an alcoholic and very depressed and angry. On an average day I might think about suicide 5-6 times. The only thing that prevents me from hurting myself is the thought of how such a harsh action will affect my daughters. He doesn't have a job neither is looking for one; doesn't cooperates in the upkeeping of the house, and if he ever goes out he drinks and the whole cycle starts again. The way he has affected the lives of my daughters is appalling but he simply doesn't care. I want to leave him but my situation is complicated: I don't have a job (even when I have been looking for one for several months now); I am also affraid that leaving him can prevent me from getting the Irish citizenship since his whole "idea" for me to come here was to get it. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you and God bless.

OP - I am very sorry but it is against site policy to allow threads where someone is considering suicide as an option from remaining open - as a result we have no choice but to close your thread.

Please though refer to our charter and some of the resources there or contact your GP. As someone with daughters you know that what you are considering is not or should never be an option.

In the charter there are resources for
Marital breakdown
Depression
Suicide
Also have a look at this site - it has information on moving country, your rights, housing - quite a lot of useful information.

Finally also consider calling Alanon - it is an organisation that specifically helps those who have a family member who is an alcoholic - you will meet many similar people there and hopefully learn you are not alone.

All the best and sorry we cannot be of more help.
