We got out

I have posted on this board a couple of times, mainly a lurker. But very early this morning I left my addict husband and have no intention of returning. I hated to leave the apartment that I pay for but he refused to leave and I needed safety for me and my unborn daughter Sarah. I will be staying with my parents for now - everybody will sleep better that way - and will be dealing with the rest here in a few days.

I had my OB appt this morning and discussed things with her and she said the baby seems to be doing just fine - which is just what this mama needed to hear. I then went to talk to a counsler who verified that I am doing the right thing and that everything I had to say to him was valid and what he would expect someone in this situation to feel.

Thank you for those who posted/replied about addict exes, denial, etc - it helped me a lot to read your stories. I know this road is just beginning and that the steps won't be easy, but the counsler also reminded me this morning of so much of my life that I have in front of me, and my baby.

    It's so hard but you ARE doing the right thing.  Good for you!  The main thing is protection for you and your baby.  Keep going to counseling because it will help you to remain strong.  I also think it's good that you discussed everything with your OB, that's important.  Its also important to remain calm and stress free for the health of your baby.  GL!

    Sounds like you made the right decision in putting your safety, and the safety of your daughter first.  Addicts are very often unpredictable and it is best that you are in a safe and stable environment.  Wishing you the best of luck.

    its gonna suck for a while (not gonna lie) but it will get SO much better than you ever imagined when the shitstorm is over.  it will be like you're living in a tropical paradise of awesomeness.  

     

    even if you have to deal with him re: custody, its still SO much better because you dont have to be in a relationship with him.   and pray that he finds someone new quickly to be infatuated with. it takes the heat off you.  srsly.
