Hello @Songbirdgarden76 I am sorry to hear about what’s happened to you, your family and your husband. Cocaine has wrecked my family. I gave my husband the benefit of the doubt for over 5 years not realising that the addiction he had confessed to years before had never really gone away. Financial and emotional catastrophe ensued. Everything came to a head not because of his using but because of hidden debt and its consequences. Despite some positive signs in recent months, I chose to initiate divorce because I need security for myself and my two teen children. I need to put on my life jacket now. I suggest you do the same. It won’t be an act of betrayal. It doesn’t show a lack of faith. You just need to protect yourself and put yourself first before you can help him. But first he has to want to help himself. Take care xx
