COOKING

I found out that my wife has been cooking meth frequently and we had quite a stockpile of equipment and ingredients to make it by several home methods.
If you are involved with a meth addict watch out for home cooking,ingredients are toxic and it normally means their habit is escalating

Doesn't cooking meth lead to the toxins getting into the walls and everything? Have you contacted the police to get advice about this - you may need to get specialists in to clean the house so you don't get sick from it. Where I live, this work can cost upwards of $10k, and if you try to sell or let out the house without doing it you can be liable for damages.

mY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. fAR AS i KNOW THIS IS THE WORST OF THE WORST DRUGS. THINK MY DAUGHTERS BEEN USING IT AWHILE, I ONLY PRAY I'M WRONG BUT GOD IS A GOD OF TRUTH YOU KNOW? WHAT DOES ONE DO TO HELP??? NOBODY HAS AN ANSWER. THEY HAVE TO WANT HELP. GLAD YOUR OUT OF THERE. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 5 YR. OLD SON NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WORRY MYSELF SICK SOMETIMES. ALL I CAN SAY IS "YOU ARE NOT ALONE" IN THIS. STAY IN TOUCH AND KEEP TALKING. LET POLICE KNOW, METH IS A DANGEROUS DRUG AND SO ARE THE PEOPLE USING/SELLING. ONLY WISH AUTHORITIES WOULD TAKE STRONGER ACTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED. TAKE CARE,VICKY

Good you moved out, but if you are a part owner of the property then you have a duty to inform the Police and probably get an insurance-type report on the house. I don't think it would be wise to rent out the house until it's fixed. If I were you I'd also have her evicted if she's still there. You might need a court order. The cost of an attorney would be much less than the potential liability for the whole house or something.

I know you're probably all over the place emotionally but this is a time when you need professional advice. If you're struggling to cope, can you ask a friend to help you make the calls and get things started.
