My ‘husband’ told me he thought he could be depressed. I told him he wasn’t and that it was the alcohol and cocaine he was using but he didn’t agree. Like you say it is laughable really drinking and sniffing that up your nose. He used to be an intelligent man.
It is the same where we live, drinking and coke is normal and ours is a nice area too. My ‘husband’ used to say it disgusted him even though he did it himself. I wondered why at the time because when we went out only I didn’t partake and everyone seemed to be having a much better time than me. I was just fed up, bored and uncomfortable. I have learned a lot.
I too have been supportive and done everything I can but it has gotten me nowhere. I have had enough of the disrespect. The CBT is working that I have been referred to and the anti depressants are getting me back on track. ‘Husband’ is at HMP so hopefully cannot get hold of any. Then again I know you can get hold of everything in there for a price.
Life has changed, I’m not free because of the mess he has left me in financially because of the crimes he has been imprisoned for but I am progressing and I am now hating the person he has become.
