Hanging On (Saying ILY Pt. 3)

[mtb1981]

I actually hope my WW's behavior could be explained by something as simple as drug use.

I get why you would say that, because then you think you would know the reason for her waywardness, but I wouldn't wish this on anybody. The whole situation $ucks. W gave up everything to get high with OM. Sometimes I catch myself falling back into the old pattern of thinking I can convince her to get help, but I know it doesn't work. She has to want to get help herself, and she doesn't. Maybe someday she'll snap out of it, and maybe she won't. But I've got to move on and take care of myself and the kids. When her life turns into a dumpster fire, we don't need to be anywhere near it. It just $ucks having to let go of something that was so important to you, and not being able to do anything about it...
