I could not have my son in an environment where my husband was using (prescription pills are his drug). Where if he got too high and lost some pills, my son might find and ingest them. Where if DSS was called on us, *I* would lose my son because I allowed him in a house where drugs were present. Where *I* was not a the best mother I could be because I was constantly angry, snooping and fighting with him. Where *I* felt unloved and abandoned for drugs.

So yes, losing the house and possessions were worth leaving for me.

I saw your post in another thread about starting a business for your husband and that is why you can't leave. That is an excuse....I had 900 of them before I got so tired that I couldn't do it anymore and finally did leave.

Thank you for sharing. Your post popped out at me.
