My husband is addicted to opiates and heroin. He downplayed his addiction as just "taking the occasional pill" until we were married…that's when he was caught doing heroin. I found needles. He went to rehab only a month after we were married but didn't stay long. We found out I was pregnant about a month after that – our post rehab baby we like to call her.
I'm now six months pregnant. During my pregnancy he has overdosed and been back to rehab.
My biggest concern is raising a child around drugs. He is still occasionally using, and of course lying about it. He knows that if he is still using when the baby is born that I will divorce him. It's not even a threat, we both agreed that would be best.
This is obviously not the marriage or pregnancy I imagined. I can't talk to my family and friends because they are already confused why I've stayed with him this long. I figured you all would understand! Or at least take comfort in knowing you are not alone (there has to be someone out there with a similar story – right?).
Anyone out there understand?

I understand. I just went with my fiancées parents and dropped him off at a 10 month treatment center and I don't have very many people to confide in. Some support my decision to stay but most wonder why the hell I've stayed. It's a very lonely feeling being with an addict.

No one really understands y I stay n he know this time he doesnt get another chance. Hoping for the best but its still lonely n stressful having him here sometimes. He is really trying. Alot more effect he has ever had. Good to know there r people out there that understand

I'm completely new to this but I am 37 years old, and my fiancé has been self medicating since he was 13 years old. He is now 34 years old. He relapsed on heroin 3 times since I had met him, and finally went to rehab when I had threatened to leave him. He got out and it's been hard and none of my friends understand what I am going through. I have lost so many friendships over staying with him and it's heartbreaking. I am hoping to find support here and connect with folks who can relate and offer guidance. I'm in love with him but he still has his moments where his addict behavior comes out. I look forward to hearing from you all.
