Hi LemonySnicket,
Do you know for sure he has been clean for 18months? a lot of the time they lie and manipulate and the addiction and drug abuse continues behind your back, they are great liars. You cant just switch it off and not have a drug addiction – once its got you you seriously need to invest on getting out of it or it gets you and consumes your life and everything in it.. have a read through some of these threads, they do help a lot and help you realise what addiction can cause and how it changes people..
I would do what is best for you and your children most definitely. As its sad but
It is so sad, as addiction is a disease after all.. but sometimes you have to be selfish and think of yourself. Sounds like he is not in a good place, to have that amount of debt, his addiction must have been really bad.
It will be hard but in the end of it, youll be stronger – a lot of us have loved and lost the person we fell in love with. It completely changes people eventually and sometimes you have to walk away.
Youve come to the right place though, we all talk and support eachother on here.. it helps me a lot. And its people who are addicted and people who are loved ones of addicts so the advice is great.
