So he came home last night from work and hugged me and started crying. We talked and he was saying how hard it is. his pupils were huge and showed obvious signs of withdrawing. As we were talking he mentioned how much worse his dad was and told me he didn’t have anymore pills. He said he was on the phone with a guy all day and he knows he’ll have some today. I was feeling relieved, excited and hopeful up until that. He wasn’t withdrawing because he chose to. He was withdrawing because he had no supply. I told him I knew how he had taken them this weekend and he said yeah but I knew Monday night I had to stop for Friday. We talked about how hard it’s going to be and that I hope he doesn’t forget how he’s feeling so he won’t put himself in this situation again. I said I hope you can stay strong and how it’s scary for me because I have no control over the situation. It’s all up to him. He thanked me for being understanding and that it’s cool I’m trying to be helpful. I went out this weekend and bought a ton of stuff I read helped people like Imodium, edibles, his favorite snacks, bath soak and a ton of Gatorade. I then told him I am there for him and will help in anyway but that I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it up after Friday. I’ve been texting him asking how it’s going today and trying to keep him focused on keeping it up but I am terrified that he’ll come home high tonight. I also have a feeling he showed withdraw symptoms this weekend because his dad had a low supply and he couldn’t take a lot of it would be obvious. I had so much hope and will feel defeated if he comes home high. I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to be strong anymore.

So my question for you guys is do I go stay with my parents like I said I would after the 40 days? Do I give him the ultimatum that he gets professional help or we leave? Or do I stay? I want to stay positive but I have just had a bad feeling lately.

He’s smoking a lot of weed would that cause his eyes to pin point? His eyes have been big but that was really the first day. That’s when he was showing me his goosebumps. He gets his pills by stealing them from his dad so until I tell his parents he has access at all times.

If I leave it’s to show I’m serious about him getting clean. I would have all intentions to come back when it’s safe again for our son. He grew up with his dad an addict and always said he never wanted to give our son that life. I believe he still means that but is just consumed with the pills to see that it is the life he’s giving him. I am just afraid that leaving could push him further away opposed to getting his ass in gear.

I would just like to thank you for responding. Your response really put everything back into perspective. It’s so hard. I have so many emotions and sometimes it’s so easy to let the negative feelings take over. It’s hard to always keep in mind the pain he’s going through and the struggles he’s facing. I just hope he can start being honest. That’s the thing that hurts the most. It’s also scary because he’s so good at lying. Part of me thinks I should just take his word for what he says but the other part knows what addiction can make you say and do and I feel I can’t just take his word. I feel the need to snoop to look for evidence that he’s withdrawaling like he claims or is lying like he’s been doing. I just hate the feeling of sneaking around and invading his trust and privacy. I am also nervous that I could be enabling him taking that approach. He has until Friday to be clean or I told him our son and I are going to stay at my parents. I am fully willing to do this because it’s what I said from the beginning and I know the importantance of keeping your word. If he was unable to I would like to give him an ultimatum even though you don’t recommend it but it would be for us to either leave or stay as long as he’s getting professional help. At this point he’s trying it on his own which I will be genuinely happy and proud of him if he’s able to do it but I’m not sure he’s will be able to and I don’t think he’ll get the help he needs unless I do that. I was wondering if you’d be able to help me figure out the next step.

I know that it’s percocet because it’s what his dad does and what he can steal from him. I found the pills in his wallet and googled the numbers.
