I know your looking for Charles to ans...Unknown - <br /><br />I know your looking for Charles to answer, but I felt compelled to add my 2 cents. No matter how much hope YOU have that he gets better and returns home to be a good dad/husband...the hope is not HIS at this moment. Pray for him from a distance. Give him a choice, get clean (for more than a year) and come home or cut off all contact. Your enabling heart is hurting both of you. How do I know? I have three little girls who no longer have a father. He also played this very dangerous game with his life and lost it. I tried to avoid the inevitable by doing exactly what your doing. You will not and cannot save him. By the sounds of your letter...he is not ready to CHOOSE to be sober...yet. My heart hurts for you..Good luck to you... <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650541315178514623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530451786669304321.post-84511588653375273502019-06-19T07:50:16.630-04:002019-06-19T07:50:16.630-04:00Charles... You mentioned a divorce. Did your pre...Charles... You mentioned a divorce. Did your previous wife leave you during your addiction? My ex husband is still in active addiction. Our marriage ended due to bad choices during the addiction. We still keep in contact and he says he is trying to come back and wants his family back but continues to do the same things. He refuses treatment and says he can do this on his own that he just needs to cut everyone off. We lost everything to his addiction to meth. I still love him but have put up boundaries of no drugs so he stays away mostly. He lives from place to place , no job for 3 years and rarely see his 4 almost grown children. He always worked before and took care of things. It's like he jumped off if a cliff. I thought the divorce and losing everything would wake him up but it hasn't. The state is a joke. He is on probation and does not do anything listed on the requirement s and they just dropped his probation period in half so there is no accountability there. It seems they are so overloaded they don't care. The boys and I do well and just live our lives but I struggle to move on because he keeps coming back asking what he needs to do to make things right, knowing what he needs to do but unable to follow through. I have tried almost everything and just can't seem to let go of hope. I desperately want this to work and see him get better. I can only control what I do. I have tried leaving him alone, ( tough love), compassion, church. I am living a good life with the boys but there is this missing piece (him) that's like the big elephant in the room.
