Good afternoon. I was given this website from a member of a facebook support group. My name is Sherry and I am a mother of 5 and my significant other and father of my children is an addict. He has struggled since he was 17 and he is 43. I told him to leave our home back in February after finding out he was actively using, had already blown $15,000 on drugs and continuously $500-1000/week. In May he decided to go to rehab. He stayed for 27 days, left 3 days early because he was having anxiety and I allowed him to come home as long as he continued to do the things he needed to. He hasn't followed through with any of those. He said he's been fixed. Since he's been home he hasn't paid any bills and replaced the drugs with spending money on anything and everything. I've been finding out more and more that he owes this person, that person, owes this lender, that lender. I've been so angry. I am a nursing student and I work besides. I maintain all the bills when he fails to do so. I asked him to leave last week after he decided to spend the last of any money he had on a vape pen before bills and when I said anything about it he responded with shut the f*@% up and that I was a controlling bitch. That was my breaking point and told him to get out. I continuously feel like I am trying to make this my fault and I just want to cave. He even made up a lie today about my daughter talking about me being with another man. Our daughter is 6. I think it's horrible that he's using the kids to attack me. I'm just so overwhelmed. It's been 8 years of in and out of hell. I don't have an Nar-anon group in my town and al-anon just didn't work for me. Hoping to find some help staying strong.
