Marriage/abuse

[MS12345]

I have been separated for 4 months now as my husband is a drug addict. I had to tell home to leave as he wouldn't hange at all. He refused to go to rehab in Australia he went when he was overseas. Sometimes he would say I am coming home tonight and wouldn't for a few day's. More than once people called the police to try and find him. He didn't care that we called the police. He is so mean and didn't care that we were worried for him. He was taken to the hospital by the police by force twice because of the drugs. He one time begged me to agree that he could go home. I didn't really want to say yes. He then went to straight away to take drugs as I didn't have to go and pick him up. His mum blamed me for many thing's. One was you let him return to your house to die. His family is so mean to me. I am still recovering from all this pain and hurt. My counselor said I have been abused.

That sounds like a lot to carry MS12345.

I am glad you have a counsellor and it does seem you have been through a lot.

Do you feel like you have enough supports in place at the moment?

i can provide some links or numbers if you need some
