I am new to this. My husband and I have been together since 1999. We have two beautiful boys. He really is the love of my life. I just hate to see what has happened to him. Addiction is a cruel thing and it effects everyone involved. He had a great job. He has lost that job, our house, cars, and a lot of other things. We are currently living with his grandma and he is not working. He hasn't had a job in two years. We have lost everything. Whether it be from not having the money to pay or him pawning things. He has turned into this controlling monster. Especially when he is withdrawing. I have divorce papers filed out and at work but I can not turn them in for some reason. I don't want to give up on him but I want the guy that I fell in love with to return to me and our children. I just don't know what to do. I know that it is not good that I enable him. I used to be a stay at home mom but since he lost his job I went back to work. I think that bothers him too. He is more dependent on me and I am not dependent on him anymore. He threatens to leave me and now I say okay. He has not left me though. Tough position.

Hi New I’m so sorry to hear what you are going through. I’m new here as well. I’ve been to the Naranon meetings in my local churches and found my strength by attending the meetings regularly. You will get stronger and things will change for you. Attend your local meetings in person.

Thanks. I can't do the meetings. My husband is a little controlling right now. He takes my phone as soon as I get home from work. I wish I could though.
