Hi

This is the first time I have ever been on a forum , I’m not sure what I’m looking for, maybe just nice to know others are going through this.

Last year I found out my husband had been using cocaine for 8 months, he swore to me he would stop and since Oct last year things have not been right, there’s no money coming in , he’s out all hours saying he’s working. A few months ago I found out that he had taken me and the children in the car to meet a drug dealer, he had then taken some cocaine at a family members bbq, I was so furious, again he swore it wouldn’t happen again. I found out last week that he is still using and he has admitted it’s a problem for him. I’m glad he has finally been honest but I feel that things have gone too far for us , during all this time he has been verbally and emotionally abusive to me and the children , he’s been violent in the house smashing his phone and did once punch a wall. I’ve been in counselling for months because things have been so bad, I asked him to come with me for months, he finally came to the end of a session after I had kicked him out. I then let him back home. We have agreed to 4 weeks couples counselling and this is where he admitted he was still using, while I absolutely want him to recover I’m just not too sure if it’s too late for us.
