Hostility

Hello - my partner is currently going through detox at my apartment. I’m a little angry because he didn’t let me know he was doing this, as I would have been more prepared.

It’s gotten to the point where physically it isn’t so bad, but emotionally it’s awful. He’s in a deep despair.

He’s also really angry, hostile, and mean. If he were to say the things to me sober that he has while detoxing we would be broken up 10 times over.

I don’t fight back just validate whatever he says

I know anger is a symptom of withdrawal, and I’m wondering how long it takes to subside. I want to support him, I also don’t want to be scared of him. If this is a week or two I can handle it, but if it’s longer, then what do I do?
