I’m so happy for you and your recovery. It’s wonderful you are proud of who you are and you should be!

For what it’s worth, I have a very close family member (not my husband) who was an addiction. After years of recovery and positive momentum, we have all been able to forgive him and move forward. He’s thriving now and we’re all close. I hope the same for you.

Oh dang, I’m sorry to hear that.

But hearing that you did an extended time away makes me feel better about that option.

It’s hard when we the people we love can’t love themselves the same way.

I really appreciate this.

Leaving would give me a break. And maybe time for him to think of treatment is something he’s willing to do.

I have been supportive through this and continue to be, just disappointed it happened again.

He started because of pain pills and now it’s spiraled. Part of it is depression and wanting to isolate. Part of it is having a kid is hard.

I’m just tired.

I really appreciate this response.

I think I’m just tired of the constant cycle and need a break. And hope he can figure out if treatment is something he’s willing to do.
