[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 377094, member: 84"] ((((hugs)))) Hmmm. Did husband actually say he was over using the pain medications/getting them from friends? Did they test for a wide range of drugs as well as opiates? (I know they probably did, but just checking) Is it possible husband might have used the "abusing medications" to excuse his unexcusable behavior?? Being difficult child who would likely not have thought thru the likely end results of that. Would explain none in his system.......or else he hasn't had an opportunity to get any recently. No answers. When I pinned husband down about his making family money vanish (not talking small sums here) he claimed he was addicted to gambling. Done with tears, pathetic expression......the whole works. Told him I give him an Oscar for his acting.......except I wasn't falling for it. My husband is no gambler. He has his own issues, that's just not one of them. I'd have recognized the behavior years and years ago. Nope not there. No way. So I laughed at him. Then I told him what I would/wouldn't tolerate....bottom line...........And has magically been better since. (well not magically, but no vast amts of money vanishing either, or even small amts) So what was the gambling bit? Yet another excuse/lie to cover his behavior. That's it. Never did get the truth out of him, but since I know what it is, doesn't matter........he doesn't need Occupational Therapist (OT) say it. Long as he walks the straight and narrow. Just wondering if it's possible your husband tossed that out there as a means to make you feel sorry for him.......and draw attention away from the real issues. [/QUOTE]
