Making a long story short I spent 17 years and had 5 kids with an opoid addict. Found a man I thought was different, married him, he took on me and 5 young kids. 7 years later (which was just 3 weeks ago) i discovered he has been hiding a cocaine addiction for 30 years! Since he was a teenager.
Went to a rehab for 12 days and came home yesterday. Went to work today and now is vomiting for hours….could he have used today and thats why he is suddenly sick?

Hi Float
Welcome to the forum.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a tough time with your relationships due to addiction.
It really does affect the rest of the family, and your emotions will be all over the place.
My circumstances are different as in , it’s my adult son with the addiction. I would suggest that you read the other threads from wives of addicts who have children. You can get a lot of help and and advice from others. Also, there are recovering addicts who are very helpful too
The forum’s homepage can give you advice and support.
At least he tried rehab, so he’s admitted he needs help, and that’s good. Unfortunately addicts can relapse off and on, as we found out with my son after he was clean for 3 months.
First and foremost look after yourself and your children. You can still support your partner, but at least you might be better advised if you get support.
I hope this helps
Take care
Lx
