[QUOTE="Origami, post: 646098, member: 18099"] husband was going to say something to him last night, but my daughter came over and we didn't want to have the talk in front of her. She tends to be judgmental and theatrical, so we wanted to avoid that. We talked to daughter in law this morning as we were driving her to work. She said it's worse than we all thought, and he has been shooting up. She found needles and alcohol swabs, which he tried to explain away. He told her he took some Ritalin to stay more alert after the heroin. She's familiar with these signs since her sister is a hard-core heroin addict who's currently in prison for the second time. She said when her sister started shooting up, it was downhill from there. She asked us to wait until difficult child gets his next paycheck to kick him out. She wants to transfer money from their joint account into her personal account so she'll have something to help her and the kids. She said she can afford a small rent on her own, which would mean moving to a not-so-great part of the city. I'm trying to keep the sadness at bay, as don't need to be teary eyed all day at work. This would all be easier if difficult child was a jerk, but he's still the nicest person. Last night at dinner, he was joking around with everyone, then was playing with his kids and reading them stories before bedtime. This morning he seemed relaxed and friendly, normal. He's so handsome, smart, nice, and self-destructive and pathetic. [/QUOTE]
