Drug addicts or former drug addicts, please help.?
Question by ***: Drug addicts or former drug addicts, please help.?
My husband is picking small fights with me and our 9yr old. He’s been using cocaine on and off for 3 yrs. For the most part when he hasn’t been using he has either been locked up in a rehab or doing jail time. What I’m trying to understand is if drug users look for any excuse to use and why? What do I say to him during these situations where he acts irrational and threatens to go use? I’m almost 6 months pregnant and need a drug free environment for my family. Any suggestions on how to cope, understand, or approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Lauren

His behavior is not going to change – he is addicted to the coke. It is not a healthy environment for you and your baby to be. Call a women’s abuse center to see if you can get help.

You need to go forge out a life for you and your kids….cut your losses and get on with it. Don’t be selfish and stay with him because your kids deserve better and your feelings, well sorry, they just don’t count anymore since you had kids….it’s ALL about the kids now, and if it isn’t then you are not a good parent….simple as that.
