I've been married for 15 years, we have a 10 year old child. He completed 30 days of rehab this summer and came home a new man. That lasted about 6 weeks. He hasn't been to 1 aftercare meeting. I find his Naltrexone hidden all over the house. I know he lies. Today when he got home, he blasted our son and made him cry. He was mean, like he was when he was using before. I wish he would just leave but I know he'll never do it on his own. I'm so fed up with this kind of life. I'm jeolous of people in happy marriages. What do I do? What happens next?

Dlabta, so sorry you are in such a situation. I know you'd like to here something better than what happens next is up to you, but that's about the way it is, rootin for ya.

Thank you. I just needed to hear something. Anything! My parents are dead. I don't want to tell his parents because they'll be SO disappointed. They've been supportive and helpful, but blood is thicker than water. I wish I could stop feeling sorry for him. He's spent all our money and looks me in the face and lies all the time. I'm seeing a psychologist, which has helped some. Reading these posts helps, too. Good to know I'm not the only one feeling this way.

If it helps remember it's the addiction not him in there somewhere he's still there. I hope the situation can improve it can't be a healthy environment for you or your son. At the end of the day the welfare of your son has to come first as well.

Almost all marriages have problems at some point. And a lot of folks put a very nice facade when the reality is thier marriage is terrible or there is some dirt they are hiding. Keep your head up.
