Quote From: slpmom35I completely understand how lonely and sad you must feel. My ex husband, the father of my 2 year old son, is currently incarcerated for drug abuse. He started using cocaine/crack when I was 5 months pregnant and as you can imagine he made my pregnancy horrible. I am currently raising my son as a single mother, we are divorced, and he has not seen my son since he is 11 months old. He has emotionally abused me, during which should have been the best time of my life, stolen thousands of dollars from me, and ruined my credit. But the worst thing is that my son is growing up and he does not have a father in his life. I am so sad for my son because I dont think he will ever know his father. If you are still married I just want to say this, it is hard to break up a marriage and be alone, especially with a child, but it is easier to be alone then to live with a drug addict. They are manipulating, untrustworthy, and selfish when they are using and unless they decide to get help for themselves YOU cant help them. I took my ex to rehab, more then once and I use to drive him to meetings. I did everything I could to try to help him but he was not ready to get the help and now he is in jail. I would love to talk more with you and maybe we can support each other. Please keep your head up and just know that all your love will never be enought for your husband if he is not ready to help himself.
In case no one has done this for you, I wanted to reach out and pat you on the back! Your decision to divorce your husband can't have been easy and it's very positive that you took this step so quickly! Many don't.
I have a couple other comments, but first a question. When does your ex get out of prison and do you still live in the same town he does?
It just makes it easier to respond knowing this.
