Good call closing the bank accounts and leaving the one that only has your name on it. It is amazing how selfish they can be. You're struggling to pay bills at he spend two grand on drugs in two days.
It def. isn't a shocker that he wants to "change" after the money is gone. Now, if he had seen the checks, handed them to you and asked you to close the bank accounts because he doesn't want access to money because he wants to change now that would be one thing. Wanting to change after he just blew all your money is pretty much just a pile of empty words.
You are doing the right thing pressing charges with the check. He needs to man up to his actions and he probally thought that if he confessed to you and said he wanted to change that you would be happy he wants to change and make you not focus on the damage he just did. Good job not letting him side track you. Of course he will tell you how sorry he is and how it will never happen again when really it just won't happen again until the next check comes. -sigh- Addicts can be so exhausting if we let them control our moods and lives.
Stay well,
