AH continues in his downward spiral and is desperately trying to suck us into it. He screwed up tonight, and now it's time to see how serious I am about my recovery. He has once again stolen my money - this time by stealing a check and writing it to himself. This is about the 250th time he's done this, and he is so sure that I will not press charges. Today, I must go press those charges. It won't remove him from the house immediately, but it will be a start.

He was looking at the computer pretending to look for rehabs. He told me that he couldn't find any that excepted medicaid. I walked down to my computer and in less then 5 minutes printed an entire list of them. I gave them to him and walked back down here to find my peace on SR. I just heard him crumble the paper, put down the computer and turn the TV back on. Guess that was a short lived trip to rehab.

It's a long road ahead....but I can do.

I would press charges too.

Somehow, I missed something, as I thought that you had given him money to move out? He's back?

Might need to put your things in a safe place.

He needs to learn he can't get away with stealing from you.

rcutch,

I sincerely hope you Let Go and Let God - for your sake, you children's sake and your husband's sake.

Often times, I would pray for God's help but then refused to get out of the way. I guess I thought I knew better then God.

Whoops....I posted in the wrong place.

I have tried to get him to move out...never happens. I am relocating with my job, but I must wait 7 months until my daughter graduates. The best part is that I have a plan now, and while he sucks me in often, I am slowly learning to pull myself away. I can survive the next 7 months and try to make it as stress free for my kids as possible by not engaging.

You have to press charges! Remind yourself that you are helping him by standing firm.

IMO, if you really wanted him out, there is a way!!

I have ready many times here, the kids usually resent the codependent more then addict. I believe it!!

Good luck!!

Press charges, if you really want to get him out, you will figure out a way. Sounds like you are resolved to let him continue to impact your life. That is your choice. Hope it all works out for you.
