How Do I Get My Wife Off Drugs?

Posts Tagged ‘leave’

My wife developed a really bad addiction to prescription pain killers and cleaned us out in August of 2007. I filed for a divorce and took custody of our two children. I soon discovered she had been having an affair with her dealer after I cut her off of our finances.

In December of 2007 she returned home asking me to take her to rehab, which I did. The day after I dropped her off she called me and told me she was pregnant. I had a vasectomy back in 2005.

We stayed apart until July of 2008 when we reconciled and she moved back home. The paramour has been in and out of rehab four times in 2008 for alcoholism and immediately relapsed upon completing his most recent round.

My wife had informed him that he was the father and he told her there was no way in hell he’d ever give her a dime. When the baby was born I signed the birth certificate and we named the baby after me.

He and his mother call occasionally and he leaves voice mails saying we are going to here from his attorney. He has never seen the baby. His parents barged into the hospital the day our son was born, but we have refused to answer their phone calls since. They also call my wife’s family and try to ascertain her location. I don’t believe that he’s interested in taking legal action, but his mother appears to be pushing the issue.

We obviously don’t want this guy anywhere near our family. He has done enough damage. Can anyone offer any insight?

My wife drank when I met her but not that much. Since then she has become very alcohlic and has caused problems in our marriage and our family. She is mean when she’s not drinking and worse when she is. Sh has called my job in a drunken tirade and made me look like an ass in front of my boss. There are many, many episodes besides that. About four years ago I had had enough and checked in to a rehab clinic myself. She went through it and we thought everyhting was okay. She was still as mean as ever though, what they call a ‘dry drunk’. About a year ago I would find marijauna butts and wine bottles hidden around the house. I don’t drink and neither does my son. I knew she was drinking again but was in denial. My son would call me a t work ( I work at night) and tell me she was at it again drunk. I have had the cops come to my house because of her and she has accused me of things I haven’t done. I love her but i don;t like her like this. I’m tired and wonder if I should go.
