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.
