I let my coke abusing, alcoholic husband back in!
Permalink  

After kicking my A husband out for the first time, and having him endure being "homeless" for a week, I let him come back home...one reason - his family.

Over the weekend, all of his sisters, mother and brother-n-laws did an "intervention" with him.  They told him that if he didn't stop using alcohol/drugs, they would turn their backs on him, and they will stand by me to have him locked up... I don't know how successful interventions are, but I hope something good will come from this.

My H has been calling and crying to me and everybody.  This time, people kept their doors closed to him, so he didn't have nowhere to go other than a homeless shelter.  Today he starts a new drug rehab program.  This time, he found this program on his own, without my help or assistance... After his brother-n-laws came down hard on him about being abusive and using, he admitted to me that he sees where he has been going wrong all along.  I just hope its not all talk...only time will tell, but I am ridding him if he slips again.

His family came to my aide this time, which is why I felt better about working with him, because now he understands that he can't con me, nor anyone else, and HIS family will stand by me, and turn their backs against him because they are all tired of his problems.... They all feel that I am a good woman, actually the best woman he has ever had in his history of women, and they don't want to see us break apart...

Please pray for me.  It was weird having him lie next to me last night.  He held me hand and fell asleep.  My sex drive is gone, and I'm just so skeptical...

Do interventions really work?furious

An intervention worked on my father in law. He's been clean in AA now for about 20 years.

All the best to you and your family.

I can Identify with that. My ex's family thought that I was the best person for him too. I was patient, seemed to understand him more than anyone else. Funny thing was, his family did not live with us. In truth, his family was just thankful that someone else was putting up with his shit.
When he decded that he wanted to kill me. His family wasn't over. It's funny, 5 minutes away can be to the moon when somebody is trying to kill you and his family was on their way to support me.
