    My husband and I have been married for 11 months

    by Kate Fisher January 26, 2023

    substance abuse daughter solidarity stories

    My husband and I have been married for 11 months, but together for 9 years. Our daughter is 6 months old.

    The past years feel like a blur. His constant negativity, anger and hatred. His mood swings, jealousy of the baby, his constant attitude towards me. It's taken it's toll on me mentally and physically. There's so much more to it.

    We were supposed to be happy. A family. On father's day this year, I found drugs. He's been using for a long time, years, and I was blind to it. He chose drugs over his baby, his wife, his life.

    He hasn't gotten better or seeked help. He's only made excuses

    I finally put my foot down. I am moving, getting a divorce and protecting me and the baby. It hurts everyday, but I feel such relief at the same time. I miss him already, but the baby deserves better. I deserve better.

    I guess what I am trying to say is, follow your gut. Don't let anyone hurt you. Especially your baby.

    Drugs aren't worth it. I'm proud to say I finally found courage.
