Hi! I'm new to this site--my friend is unfortunately going through the same situation I am and referred me. I really don't know where to start; but I've been married to an addict for 4 years. He went from heroine to becoming an alcoholic--I'm not saying it was better; but at least when he did heroine; he didn't get so angry, break things, or verbally abuse me to the point where I feel broken. It scares me--He is 6'3" 280lbs and I am 5'2" and 100lbs. And when he drinks; it's 'my fault' and when he doesn't work (he owns his own company) because he is sleeping all day; that's my fault too. I really did think that I cried my last test; but tears are streaming down my face as I write.

I'm sorry for what you are going trough.

I would think about a way out if I were you. If he is verbally abusive, it's unacceptable. And waiting for things to get worst, even physical unnecessary.

Be kind to yourself. Check out the friends and family section also.

Welcome Ginn, sorry about your situation.

I don't think the way your husband is treating you is acceptable, you deserve better.

You should never be scared or have to suffer any type of abuse in a relationship. Ever.
