You separate your husband into two people. One is your husband and the other is a drug addict. You love your husband and you dislike the addict that occupies his body. You let the addict know this, but you also affirm the love for your husband when he is occupying that space without drugs.

It is very hard. My mother is the same way. I think so many of us have an addict in our midst. We love them so, yet we hate their behavior more than so many things.

I am sorry to here. Your six words have so much hurt resonating between their syllables deep within your heart. I will keep you in my thoughts. Love in a tight bond, hard to break. I recommend prayer and a strong network of friends and a good church. Don't hide this from people. If you bottle up such a big truth as a "family secret" it will tear you apart.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
