[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 147936, member: 1436"] Mikey---I KNOW this is the hardest thing you have ever done. None of us with addicts in our lives expects to ever get to the place where detachment in our only means of survival. But, if we are to survive, we must reach that stage. Be prepared. Very few make the first round of rehab. After a week he will have learned his lesson. There will be more drugs there than you can even imagine. The counselors don't understand him. Every other patient is so much worse than he ever was.....wife will buy it. You know better. He will triangulate you---he's been doing that already. wife will be the good guy. You will remain the bad guy. You will be told you are cold and heartless. You will be called horrible names and ignored in your own home. If he comes home he will talk about all the changes he will make in his life. It will last a few days. Then he will go back to his lifestyle and the chaos will start again. I wish I had hope for McW---but I have been at this for much longer than you and well, nothing ever really changes.... [/QUOTE]
