Hi Mellisa
I’m sorry you are going through this but Debc is right, there are so many stories like yours here, it may help you to read them. Your partner is going in one direction at the moment. There is nothing you can do about that. You have to protect yourself and your children. It’s likely that your financial situation will get worse, quite quickly and you are already struggling to cope. It’s not going to stop until he wants it to. Nothing you can do or say will change that. He won’t even do it for the children. I can say this without knowing more, without knowing him, because addicts all behave in the same way. Get support, and get some distance between you and him and then hope he can turn it around eventually. Keep coming back here – there will always be people to help you here. Take care xx
