Hi all

So my wife has just come out of Rehab (3 months). She’s been on coke and booze for three years with the last 2 being horrific at home with little care for me or the children, including several arrests. She eventually went to rehab after a week boozing with another boyfriend.

I’m 40, and we have 3 young children (3,5,8 yo’s).

I’ve accepted her back at home in order that she can continue recovery and the children can rebuild their relationship and see their mummy being better but I am seriously struggling and don’t know what to do. She’s a stay at home mum and so financially dependent on me. I had cut off all finances before rehab as she was wiping me out, and even stole the kids money.

During her active addiction it transpires she was cheating constantly and doing whatever she could with who ever to get access to more booze. During her rehab it’s come out she’s also got SLA (sex and love addiction) which she’s using as an excuse for the cheating.

I believe she still is and perhaps may have been in rehab too, and is something I don’t understand or can comprehend. I’m finding this more harder than the booze and drugs.

My emotions are all over the place, I’m tired, confused and becoming very grumpy and angry at the smallest things. I’m also not sleeping and constantly thinking about what has happened and what maybe or may not be happening.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same issues and can offer some advice
