      Hi all!

      Married 17yrs to this man I thought I knew so well. I thought we were best friends and that he’d never turn his back in his family. Instead more and more this man became a monster. When he drank he hated me then it became he just hated me. I couldn’t understand where this was coming from as I was so good to him. Our kids increasingly became neglected as well. His impatience, moody, erratic at times, and secretive behaviour just became impossible to live with. I knew nothing about drugs or signs. I believed he was depressed and couldn’t cope until he left. I discovered not only was he having an affair but, snorting coke, using oxy and injecting steroids. This man hated needles. He’s turned into this person I don’t know. When he needs something he’ll call or come to the house to try and manipulate. He’ll call and say one thing one day and it be entirely different days later. I’m not sure he knows why he left as that too changed from day to day. He’s not interested in anything he used to. Sleeps a lot at times yet other times just going without sleeping a regular schedule. He wants to come home one day and the next his family is dead to him. How does one understand why they go through such great lengths to hurt people they used to live so dearly?
