[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 301236"] Well, you and husband decide what is best for you two. If he is to remain in your home, it seems best that he be told that drugs are NOT okay. Perhaps you might want to drug test. Good thing the girlfriend is coming back to town and good thing she isn't into drugs. Perhaps the two of them living together would be a good thing. Can he move in with her NOW? What about with a relative of yours or hers temporarily (one that is stable). What did he learn from losing the job? Is he willing to go back to the psychiatrist and/or psychologist? I would open up this up for brief discussion. Check out Suz's link on detachment. Especially if he is using again, see if your community has a Families Anonymous Mtg. and GO! It seems all you can do is offer psychological and other medical support, some general ideas if he asks and is willing to accept input, boundaries about what you will allow in your home. The rest is up to him...really. Find things to distract you from all of this...it will do you a world of gooooood!!!! [/QUOTE]
