The Mossy Chronicles
As this is my first entry I am going to try and let out what has led me here, I married my wife 13 years ago (the first time) and had two wonderful children, a girl first and then a son about 3 years after (she is 6 now and he is 3). I put my wife through nursing school after we married, she became an RN at the local hospital here in town. After we were married for about 8 years we seemed to always be at odds with each other, money troubles, little things that really bugged me and I could not understand why she was so resistant to understand and try to meet in the middle on most issues, it just really seemed to me that she had gone crazy in a lot of ways, I just could not figure out why. She worked long hours and with the children it was tough when she worked every other weekend so finally after many requests she found another job in a town about 30 miles away that was supposed to be better hours. During the first three months of that job there she changed a lot, seemed to protect her phone more, never just left it on the counter, and actually worked more than she did at the first job.
One day she was working and I was putting up laundry and my son pulled one of her makeup bags out from under the sink and about 10-15 empty hydrocodone bottles fell out of it, all scripted to her from my family doctor. I could not believe it, she had not told me of any health issues or that she had seen a doctor. I became a little nosey at that point and found several more hidden in empty purses, and in our closet. I confronted her that evening to find out why she was taking them and she said she had back pain, and that she had only been taking them for a few months, and told me that she hid it because she didn't think I would believe her about the back problem. I had our pharmacy print my families purchase record the next day and she had been on them longer than 5 years (as far back as they kept records), she as taking them, muscle relaxers, several anti depressants, xanax, scripted diet pills, and cough syrup.
Bout to go for a while, more later.
