| Newly registered and unsure
Hello. I am the wife of a lifetime prescription drug abuser. He is now in his
70s. At this late date, I don't think he is going to get off the Vicoden and other meds that he is using now. I intend to stay with him and am trying to have a peaceful home and a social life and outside activities that bring me some happiness. I am finding it hard to live peacably with this man and am hoping to get hints from others in the same situation. He is very verbally abusive and I would like to learn some strategies to help me in dealing with this. He sleeps 18-20 hours a day but gets angry if I go out with friends or family during that time. He wants me to stay home and amuse myself and be there when he wakes up and feels like some company.
Hopefully there are others in the same boat within this group that have experiences and advice that will help me. And hopefully I will be able to offer some help to others too.
