[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 653174, member: 18412"] I have some experience. My ex's drug of choice was fentanyl. It started with other things and went on for a couple years before I knew about it. Of course, hindsight being 20/20, I realized after it hit the fan what had been going on. He lost his job, I was a stay-at-home mom and we ended up losing everything. He was arrested and while out on bail awaiting trial, he got a DUI. The night of the DUI, he called me to pick him up from the police station and then tried to attack me when I got there. I refused to take him so I called a friend who came to get him. He threatened suicide and then ditched out of the friend's car - twice. The friend called the cops, told him which direction ex was headed and said he was done chasing him. Cops found ex, arrested him again, took him to the hospital where he attacked the cop, broke the hospital bed, etc. He was then taken to detox. He was there for 3 days and then released. The doctor at the ER and the cops told me to stay away from him, so I did. Ex's family had always told me how wonderful I was..I was a saint to be married to him, etc. Until I got a PFA against him...then I became the whole reason for his substance abuse and depression, I was an awful person to abandon him, and as his dad put it, I was "no better than a pimple on his a++." In-laws can be very mean. I get it. They want to protect their Difficult Child, as we all do. 10 years later they still hate me and enable him. Hopefully your in-laws will "see the light" and realize this is all HIS fault and not yours. I hope they give him the ultimatum and he goes to rehab. And hopefully after he gets sober, he will tell his family the truth. You deserve no less. I feel your pain. Sending you hugs and strength. [/QUOTE]
