need, not sure, before head explodes
I have no idea what to do. My wife is in Seabrook House detoxing, learning, and reevaluating her life. I knew that when she was hurting from past abuse trauma from father, she would swallow some pain meds.(always a blow out fight), but I had no what was going on. She forged scripts, now the law is involved. She thought she could do this as a scream for help(hoping she would get caught), did not know it was a felony. She is scared but at peace at same time, very confusing for me. I'm going through hell, new house(fixerupper), 5 yr old girl, and my best friend not home for the last 3 wks. sorry about babbling, Brit. helpppp

Hi Brit and Welcome,
I am sorry that you and your family is going through this. My suggestion is that you do what you can to take care of yourself. You might want to check out the Friends and Families forums on this board, where you'll find lots of support.

Welcome Brit,
There's a whole crew of us in Family and Friends of Substance Abusers who as Anna mentioned, can lend an ear, a hug and lots of support.
Its amazing what talking to those who are or have been there can do.
Hope to see you there
(((hugs)))

Perhaps this will be her "bottom", and will give her that "sweet reasonableness" we need to surrender.
You and her have a long, hard, road. That's for sure.
Good Luck and God Bless. Keep coming back. And, check ouot Freinds and Family.

Welcome to SR Brit...
Yes, you have some serious issues to deal with, but she is in the right place, getting help...
Just try to deal with one issue at a time. If you look at the whole picture at once, it will seem overwhelming...
Stay strong for your wife, your daughter and especially yourself.
I agree with Anna, go to the Friends and Family of Substance Abuse section here. Many good helpful people there...
Stay Strong and Positive especially for your daughter. She probably needs you now, more than ever...
One day at a time.
