Thank u for your reply. Sounds like you had such a bad time of it and I am so sorry to hear about it. Thinking about it, my husband has also been getting in trouble with the law as well, which I guess would cause stress and then as you said would increase his intake. I just can’t understand the lies to be honest and how easy it is to place a lie on top of a lie and still think that they will not get caught out. I have even said I will help and support him if he would tell me the truth, but still will not admit to anything. I can’t do anything really as he would get 50 percent custody of the children as he would get a good lawyer and then I would have no idea what is going on with my girls half the time, or what they are seeing or going without. Stuck.
