19Living With A Meth Using Husband
My husband and I were just married last month. He's been addicted to meth for a little over a year now and before that he was on coke for two years. We have a two and a half year old daughter together and he's been high on drugs since I got pregnant. He doesn't spend money on meth, he has a friend that sells it and gives it to him for free, but it's not that that I'm really worried about since he has no income anyway. What worries me and hurts me is the way he treats me and our daughter. He's become very violent towards us, never hitting us, but pushing us around, screaming in our faces, that sort of thing. I can't talk to him anymore; he just doesn't care about anything but the drug anymore. I've left him twice over it already and I was hoping that when we got married he would stop for me and for our daughter. Just today I had all I could take. He said he was leaving to do some meth and I told him if he walked out the door, don't bother to come back. We argued on the phone for hours while I begged him to please get help, he refused. So finally I told him that he either stop for good or he wouldn't see me or our daughter again until he was cleaned up. He told me that he would be home in the morning and he promises he is through with it this time and he says if he fucks up again I can leave him. I love my husband to death but I can't live with him like this anymore, I'm only 22 years old and I'm scared to death that I'm going to lose my family and everything I love.
