I live with my cocaine addict husband. I have learned to live with it and to an extent it goes ok. I single parent our son, always am there when my husband is with us, i explain everything of my husbands behaviour to our son and protect all I can.
I see a future where I get together enough money to be able to get a divorce and be able to support me and my son. I know I have options but for now I feel it is working and I can cope until I am ready to be self sufficient.
And then you have a day where you just can not fathom this addiction. Our dog just died and everyone is obviously upset. But my husband takes it as an opportunity to be as nasty as he can be. Or atleast thats what it feels like. And its at times like these that you see that not only is this person unable to be supportive but that also he is coping less well than you could imagine.
Just needed to vent. Somehow writing it down makes me feel a little heard – as I have noone to talk to about these things and how they can make you feel. I am strong and I am getting through it but sometimes you just need to be heard.
Stay strong everyone x
