    About Me

    I am 38 years old, married for over three years with a 7 year old stepson, together over five years. Many break-ups later I have finally given up hope and will be getting a divorce. He went through rehab for alcoholism, but hasn't been following his wellness plan or even taking his depression meds. Recently, money was being withdrawn from my account in the middle of the night while I slept, he says he has been gambling, but I am fairly certain there are drugs involved also - found a crack pipe in his pocket Christmas 2007 - Merry F'ing Christmas!!. He isn't working, isn't going to meetings, is depressed, and I was losing my mind. So I finally had to give up hope, I just wish I could turn off the love. VERY lonely right now and missing him which is STOOPID!

    Interests

    Reading, camping, hanging with my friends (ideally without crying about my marriage or lack thereof).

      My husband is a recovering alcoholic who isn't recovering too well. I suspect he is smoking crack. I found a pipe back in January he swore that was the end of it. He takes money out of my account in the night while I am sleeping. He suffers from deep dark depression and I can't be sure if he is actually using now or not but I am scared out of my mind. He quit his job 6 months ago and I am the sole breadwinner. I keep trying to make everything O.K but the more I try the worse it gets.

      12 Step Program Working / Worked
      I used to go to Al-Anon when my husband was drinking. He hasn't had a drink in over a year but I am going back this week because I am getting sucked in to his emotional state again. Trying to fix everything for him.
      Al-Anon Working / Worked
      I have really benefited from Al-Anon but haven't been in about a year. I really need it again and am going back now.
    • Close Step Families

      I have a seven and a half year old stepson who's mother hates me and talks badly about me to him. He has told me "Mommy says your a pig", and "Please don't get out of the car because you know how much Mommy hates you." I have been in his life 5 years and am getting tired of it.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I have just finally legally separated after leaving him or kicking him out so many times and taking him back. I told my sisters and my parents this time to make it real. I am having a hard time with the emotional rollercoaster because I do still love him.
