My husband just checked himself into rehab

Olivebeinmamma

We've had our ups and downs of course but this really hit me out of the blue. 

I know I've posted on here about MH before and usually venting unfortunately. But, he went to the ER yesterday with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and completely negative work up... today I'm at work (hes supposed to be a SAHD mind you) he called the ambulance again and I'm supposed to come home within 8 minutes to get my kids or CPS is going to have to take them until I can get to them. I work 20 minutes away at least. Our neighbor came down to help and SIL and MIL came to get kids.

Come to find out... its not just abdominal pain... hes withdrawing. He had problems with pills in the past but I didn't think he was on pills again... nothing seemed like he was at all especially because there was no money missing like before.

I'm so numb and emotionally drained I just don't know what do to. I'm glad he went and I hope he gets better but... It just sucks to be in this position. This isn't what I wanted for our family or my life.

Just... ugh...

Thanks for listening... just need to get it out there and idk... just some 3rd party that doesn't know us or anything... really no point to this post just to get it out...

((hugs)) I am so sorry you're going through this.  I'm glad he's getting help, but it really must suck for you.

Holy crap momma! You must be in total shock. I am so sorry you are going through this. Its scary how long he must have been on them to act so regular, even scarier is that he has been popping pills around your kids. I hope he gets the treatment he needs.

I hope this is the low point and things start getting better for you, your DH and your family now that he is getting help. I'm so sorry.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It's good to know he's getting help but then at the same time I feel very protective of our kids and untrusting that even rehab is going to fix it. I know that's just the momma in me but still have to be protective of me, out kids, and our future. So, I guess it's a believe it when I see it attitude now?

Ugh... Now to go to work. Exhausted, headache, nausea... SUCKS!!

I am so sorry for you and your family.. no one expects this, but it is a very good sign that he has checked himself into rehab. Hopefully the treatment will work. All you can do is love him. Very tough.

That is really rough and I'm sorry you're going through this.  I'm glad he's seeking help, but what a strain on you!  Hang in there.

(((Hugs))) I am so sorry that you are going through this again.  Hopefully this time the rehab will stick.

Will you be able to get the extra help you need from your MIL/SIL while your DH is gone?  Definitely feel free to vent over here.  We are here for you!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Addiction is such a hard thing on not only the user, but all those that love and surround them.  Hugs to you and your family as you navigate the difficult journey to sobriety for your husband.

I'm sincerely sorry about your situation. I am a recovering addict and if I didn't have my DH I would not be in the great situation I am in now. Stay strong and love him. I will pray for him, you and your family.
