Hi Float

Welcome to the forum.

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a tough time with your relationships due to addiction.

It really does affect the rest of the family, and your emotions will be all over the place.

My circumstances are different as in , it’s my adult son with the addiction. I would suggest that you read the other threads from wives of addicts who have children. You can get a lot of help and and advice from others. Also, there are recovering addicts who are very helpful too

The forum’s homepage can give you advice and support.

At least he tried rehab, so he’s admitted he needs help, and that’s good. Unfortunately addicts can relapse off and on, as we found out with my son after he was clean for 3 months.

First and foremost look after yourself and your children. You can still support your partner, but at least you might be better advised if you get support.

I hope this helps

Take care
