Hi Kindness-

our stories are very similar. I dated my husband when I was 16, we drifted through life, reconnecting 30 years later. He told me the same story, that he was a recovering addict, having committed to sober living and having had completed a year rehab program. I believed him, there’s no way I would ever let a user into my life (me as the idiot I was) I feel like he was sober for a a year after. Then he started smoking weed, then drinking, then taking his moms pills- then he started being aggressive and terrorizing the family-!he especially did this around every family event;!Christmas, Birthdays, vacations. I’m not sure why other then spending time with the family meant he couldn’t hide anything he was doing. So he would pick fights and storm out. He had his mother convinced I was nuts and he wasn’t using, meanwhile, he hocked her tv- god only knows what else. So here we are, and I’m hurt, but exhausted.
