Go to Alanon, and deal with it there. It might take a long time, but you don't have to make up your mind until later, about how much time you want to put into coming to grips with his problem, and how much you want to just move on. Alanon can help with whatever you choose to make of the situation.
Here you just get bits of advice but there you can talk as long as you want with whoever you want.
It isnt your fault. Addicts blame everyone and everything on someone else while they are using. Take this time to heal yourself and your children. sara
I would love to be there for Him, Its not a normal break-up, He has broken any trust I have in Him, He has ripped off every thing in His path, taken the Baby to crack houses, Lied to every one around about His life, Tried to kill me in front of My youngest son,Sits with a gun pointing out the window,He rents hotel rooms and stands at the peep hole and thinks everyone is coming to get him -calls me all night crying,the list goes on, Even after all of that, When He left rehab I tried to help Him. He's at the point in his life where everyone around Him is a victim ...My kids are the ones that are in pain,, He's moved on to the dark side...I would love for My son to have a Father...He just tells me its all my fault, because I kicked him out,,
Please let us know how everything is going for you right now.. Sometimes, us addicts don't realize what we've done to the people around us who've done nothing less than love and care for us -- even when we've done things to them that aren't as commendable as we'd like for them to be. Your husband needs help, and I'm assuming you already know this by now. Even if you pan on leaving him for GOOD -- try and be there for him as a friend.
Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing........sara
He;s gone. The madness is over for us, I'm just left in a state of shock... I'm just going to get over it, There nothing I can do. It started out with prescription drugs, He just could not stop...We stayed together 10 years it was only the last 4....A total change in personality,I think maybe He couldn't handle a special needs child,,,,I can't imagine a day without Him... Thank you all for the responses. I'm in a better place now,
it may be hard but let go of him, NOW
Try to focus on healing you and the kids now. There is nothing you can do for him at this point but there is a ton of things you can do for yourself. Addiction affects the whole family and leaves many scars. Check out Alanon in your area. They have all been affected by someone who is an addict to. Dont waste anymore time wondering about your ex......Take care of you and learn how to enjoy your life now!!!! sara
I understand, I just don't get how a person like him could lose it so bad,
Whats the enjoyment of being so out of it? I don't like to talk about the mess He is in, I feel like maybe thats why I 'm so depressed,I can't help Him any more, I never could..
I have a great life I just need to live it, Thank you for writing ...
Sometime I think addicts have a death wish as well and im one.I am so sorry for you .I am glad he is not living with you and your kids anymore. I dont know if he will go to jail or not but it sure sounds like her needs some serous help.remember you have to take care of you .He has dug is hole and he is going to have to find a way out if thats what he was.

He has a Lawyer, He was advised to go to rehab. He was in a poor rated one, He took off with a Girl He met there,Three weeks later,,send me the bill. Now They are making meth to pay the Lawyer,,, Creepy, This is why the Kids can't see Him... I really tried everything before He left. Its like He has A death wish...
This is a question for lawyers. The thing I would ask is how is he doing with the addiction? They are more likely to place him in prison if he's not in recovery.
