1.This is a deeply personal thread I wasn't sure if I should write it. At least it will explain why I will NEVER forgive Brexiters. Before I met my husband he had a drinking problem, like many deep thinkers who occasionally suffer with depression it was his way of self medicating
2.When I met him he hadn't touched alcohol for years.The months leading up to his death the Brexit cloud was getting even more ominous. I made the mistake of telling him about conversations I've had and the reaction to me being an EU27 citizen.
3.He was worried about what would happen to me since the government clearly had no intention of keeping their promises. Basically he was terrified of loosing me. He would sometimes wake up at night, grab hold of me and say I'll never let them send you away, I'll fight them.
4.He felt he was faced with the of either moving from UK with me, leaving his son behind or stay here and maybe put me in harm's way. Too late I realised he had started self medicating, and he couldn't talk to me about it since I was the reason for his distress.
5.Eventually I got him talking, booked GP appointments but it was too late. His body couldn't tolerate alcohol, not even minimum consumption and I lost him. It all happened so quickly.
