just diagnosed

Living with addict. Married w/ a 2 year old. my husband had spent our whole paycheck on drugs in 2 days. I have no where to go and would like to know more a ptsd.  I know relatively nothing about it, as i was always told i am Bipolar. I will be going through a divorce,as i find it difficult to live with an addict as i am in recovery myself. I'm beside myself and am wondering what meds they will out me on or what i should suggest. I will not get to see my doctor until the 29 for meds, and i have high anxiety and feel like i'm eady to snap. Emotionall and financially tapped, i need some kind of support. I cannot talk to someone who is high all day, and i am stuck with a drug addict while battling my own mental issues, which i feel would be unremarkable, had my situation been any diffent. I am about to persue a divorce, but in the meantime, i need some coping skills advice. I am beside myself.....

Thats okay you have come here to us you have found some support, it is no doubt hard when you are trying your self to stay 'clean' and the other partner is not, is he willing to try or is it not going to happen as it will be difficult for you.There are places to go to and I suggest to you that as you are pursuing Divorce that you google your area for somewher to stay, it is your child that should be considered, it is not a good idea if the partner is in any way abusive to you that the child sees it or is any part of it...Here is what I suggest ,you are courageous in realising that you cannot be in his life, you are free of drugs , and you need to stay that way, you say you have no where to go , but there are places out there will take you, so reach out..put it into google ,your area , ask for help,someone will give it ...Good luck it takes guts to do it , I feel that for your childs sake you have those guts ...PM anyone here for more talk I am always around and I care ....
