[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 255386, member: 1436"] MWM---I'm so sorry. I can remember what I felt like when husband got us into so much financial trouble because of his addiction. He went off to rehab, and I got left behind to dig myself out of the hole that he had created---and that I had allowed him to create because I was so blinded by my faith in him. When it was crushed, so was I. But, I knew that I had to rely on myself to get out of it. And I did. And he came home to the mess cleaned up. But, I didn't do it for him. I did it for myself and the kids. There are moments throughout a marriage where one person falls and the other has to pick them up---it's just the nature of life...and it blows chunks. Tips--- Start your own bank account and make sure any bills in your name are paid on time. Remove your name from any account you share. Take control of your financial future. Understand that he is human, he makes mistakes, and if you can, forgive him. I'm not saying forget, but forgive---that allows you to let go of the bitterness and anger. Do not put the children into the middle of this. He is still their father and he needs their respect. Don't make one person the bad guy. Move to a rental or the mobile home park---this isn't the end of the journey, just a pitstop on the highway of life. Start envisioning the home you will own one day. But make whatever house you live in a home for your family. [/QUOTE]
