In need of help supporting my husband...

[Kathy]

Hi Raroma,
When your husband starts his journal, I know he will be welcomed here just as wonderfully as you have. There will always be great support here for him!!!! Hopefully, we will see him here soon.
Hope your day/weekend will better now that you've got US!

Take care.
Kathy

Thank you everyone for your support. To address stillandagain...all I can say is that his actions are that of a PA. I don't fully understand it because I am not a PA, nor have I ever been addicted to anything. I think from an outside standpoint it's so easy to ask "why can't he just stop when he KNOWS what it's doing to the family?" I know I've asked that THOUSANDS of times. I guess when you're addicted to something, it takes over all rational judgement. I can only assume that's what it is. But, thankfully, my H is now at a point where he has recognized and admitted that he knows what is at stake and what he has damaged thus far. He is really trying this time. We talk about it a lot. I'm really proud of him.

I read your story and it brought tears to my eyes. All the stories I have read touch my heart... I am sorry you and your children have to go through this, but I am glad that you and your husband are seeking help. Your recovery and healing is just as important... That's something I am just realizing for myself, too.

I found this site and mentioned it to my boyfriend. We have both joined, though he is still awaiting membership validation. I often ask the question, "Why does he need those things? Why doesn't he love me and my son enough to stop when he knows I'm going to leave him?" You see, he is not the biological father of my son, but he and my 5-year-old son have a very good relationship. My son absolutely adores him...

I hope you and your family find the strength to get through this.
