Thanks for sharing your story and I’m sorry that your husband’s addiction is making you so ill and uncertain.

If you would like some help for yourself please contact us at Icarus Trust as we are a charity that offers support to people going through what you are having to deal with addiction in the family.

We have trained people called Family Friends and you could speak with one of them if you get in touch. They may be able to help you answer your questions and would be able to tell you what other support is there for you.

Its because she is into coke like him and he doesn’t have to hide it or feel ashame but wait till they both run up debts ,take it out on each other, if he can leave you and your kids for her and coke then he has done you all a massive favour although it won’t feel like it xx

My husband also had an affair during active addiction and also resented the fact I had asked him to stop taking drugs. He also sought the company of people who were also using or who were telling him what he was doing was OK We also never had any money although we both worked. We have two daughters. He is now 3 years clean and working a 12 step programme in NA. It took ages before any of the recovery stuff happened. Years infact….But now we have trust and he has clarity. He does love you. He just doesn’t love himself and is trying to fill a void with whatever, whether drugs, sex, attention. All selfish behaviour is a part of active addiction. Don’t give up hope. I really hope he finds recovery. In the meantime you look after yourself and your kids as best you can.
