I guess it's like a disease now which requires some treatment.

you do have a difficult situation on your hands! With the children being so young it will be hard for them to grasp the situation. I say stick with the truth, he is ill and he is getting help! You are going to go through many different emotions from time to time and you must take care of your mental health as well! Addiction is difficult and a long road to travel. I have four brothers who were addicted to cocaine. It took a very long time for them to see help and then beat their addiction. One brother was near death when he reached out to me and I brought him and his family to live with me. They both have jobs and their sons are doing well, but it has taken four years to get to that point! Another brother still struggles when he has money in his pocket because he wants to run out and buy drugs! I appreciate that you want to be there and support him but this is one thing he must do for himself and for me it is normal to want him to get his just due as well! You are a young family and this is the first step to ensuing that the kids get the life they they deserve and you get the husband you deserve! Just hold your head up and be proud he is getting help so that you can live the life you both want! I admire your courage and it is so wonderful you are staying by his side throughout this ordeal! Just use Blogit as a release, there are many folks on here who will support you, too! Best wishes and I send my blessings to you in the name of the Lord! sam
