My name is Stephanie. I'm 24 years old, and the past 5 months have been some of the best and worse of my life. I met my husband while he graduated from rehab, and only two short months later we were married. He was doing amazing when I met him. Just about 8 months sober! He has done many different types of drugs, But cocaine was his drug of choice. Lately, things have been rough and Wednesday night was when my worst nightmares came true. He stole from my mother, went through her belongings and sold two rings. My mom found out, called the police & because my husband was on probation, he's now serving five years. I'm a wreck. Everyone in my family is against me, because I went to my first visit tonight. But although I don't agree with what he did, and it was terrible..I can't just stop loving my husband. My heart hurts. I'm lost. I need help.

Hi stephanie…Im sorry to hear that your husband is away. It probably feels like your heart is voided. Saturday night my fiance decided to take his first step and went into a detox program. I begged him for a while to go but it's not something that is easy. I'm currently 7 months pregnant, all these emotions have come over me . I am angry and feel abandoned but yet proud and happy all at once. How dare he leave me with life stress bills, car is about to fall apart I could have the baby any time (high risk) and he just goes off to this resort style place so he can clear his head. What about me? I have been drug down by this emotionally physically but yet he gets to go he help. Now out of all times. I have lost friends, I have lost my dad and my sister I didn't speak with them for almost a year bc they didn't approve of my choice in men. I have stayed and stood by my man for almost 2 years. I love him and feel such a connection that no one will ever understand. But I also lost the other person who came first and that is my 6 year old daughter. Families don't understand. Its like they dont see the good times because there's more bad then good.His problems are my problems and last year we both got arrested bc of a shop vac and they found a needle in my car. I got out Christmas eve. He stayed in for 23 dUd until I bonded him out a day be for his court date. I missed him so bad by was so angry with him. He got to call,we did Skype visits(gotta love the new age tech) at 10 dollars a pop.I guess now the question is how can you stay connected with him while he on the inside. Your family loves you, it is just hard for them probably to see you with someone who isn't your 8-5 suit and tie type of person. But it doesn't mean they dont care.
