Re: Wife's drug use, it is killing me, what do I do? jackie13: At this point, I believe she will do it again. It seems as if she doesn't care about my feelings. Do I wait around, or do I leave. I believe that this can become a problem for her real fast. What about our baby. I haven't brought him into the conversations, but if I leave, I want to take him. I am afraid that she will start to do more and more everyday.
Re: Wife's drug use, it is killing me, what do I do? jackie13: Thanks Deacon, I'm trying to make sense of it all. She has talked about trying it in the past, so, she finally did. Is it a postpartum effect? She said that being with the baby all day has been very difficult for her, she wanted to have fun, and the previous times she was too tired, she told me she needed something to keep her up.
Re: Wife's drug use, it is killing me, what do I do? DarrenB: Yeow! So sorry to hear about this. The fact that she does not seem to want to stop for her own good or for the good of the marriage is terrible. It sounds like she could be addicted already, and the longer she continues to do the coke the worse she is going to get even more out of touch with reality. You know it is only going to get worse Jack. It always does.
You need to give her a major ultimatum right NOW. With no rule bending, procrastinating or lollygagging allowed on her part. Detox and rehab or no marriage or child for her. There is a baby involved here and the destructive behavior will hurt your child in many ways if he/she is subjected to this.
Good luck and watch out for your baby. Sorry man. :(
Re: Wife's drug use, it is killing me, what do I do? BeatenNotBroken: If you want to save this marriage do not leave. If you leave she of course will be hurt and just use that as an excuse to do more. Keep that so called best man out of your life and make her stop cold turkey. Cocaine is only physically addicting after 30 days of hard use before that it is all psychological. I would suggest putting her on antidepressant's she is probably loving the effects of the cocaine even more if she is going through postparrdum (however you spell it). It may be her form of self medicating. Be strong. You are going have to be forceful in this because people fall in love with that drug fast.
