Husband going to rehab

i just found out today that my husband has been using heroin the whole length of my pregnancy, about 6 months, and he's going to rehab on Tuesday.
He will be there for 90 days and I'm due in 100 days...he will miss the babyshower and my last ultrasouns, and we just have to pray that baby doesn't come early :(
This is just all very hard on me, I inow he wants to get better but I can't stand being alone :( plus I'm moving on March 8th I'll have to pack and move all by myself at 30 weeks :( this is so stressful and I just don't know what to do.
Im so depressed now and it's heartbreaking that o have to go through the rest of my pregnancy alone :( I'm basically a single mother ;((((

Oh sweetie,  im so sorry to hear that, but this will help, its better getting help now rather than when he is a father to an infant , and cant get out of the hole hes in. This will make him be the best father he can be, and just think that it's for the better. Think of the positives of the situation rather than the negatives,  its definitely hard not to but the positives will most definitely outweigh the negitives. Good luck to you both, I have faith in him being a great father.

Im so sorry to hear youre going through this and it def ***** that hell miss a lot of things, but looking at the bright side at leastbhes getting help before the baby comes. It would be worse if you had the baby and then he left for rehab or never left at all and continued using. You should be so proud of him for trying to set his life straight for your family before bubs comes. I can only imagine how hard it will be though in the mean time but try to keep telling yourself that its for the best in the long run. Moving is hard when pregnant though so try and get as many friends and family to chip in and help you out so its not all on you. You can do it, stay strong for you and your little bubba and my thoughts go with you that it doesnt come early so you can share the birth with your partner. All the best. X
