unhappy...Keep this in mind...this is just my opinion....I'm a recovering opiate/cocaine addict, 166 days clean.
I put my husband and kids through hell while I was 'using'! Thank God my husband stuck by me! He knew that this 'addict' wasn't the person he married. He knew I was sick. No, he's not a saint...we had some knock down, drag out fights. He threatend to leave numerous times, but I'm so grateful that he didn't. He had faith that I'd come to my senses one day and his faith in me is what helped me get clean.
I'm not telling you to keep yourself and your kids in a unhealthy situation...maybe separating will help him realize his problem. You just have to ask yourself "is this the man I married?" and "do I want to put myself and my kids through this?"
Now that I'm clean, my marriage is stronger than ever. I'm glad that my husband loved me through my addiction, cause Lord knows he could have gave up on me a long time ago!
Good luck to you and your family :praying
