Family member

[Boomboomboomboomboomno]

A family member found out her husband was doing Class A drugs behind her back and I cannot comprehend why she still stayed with him?! I believe they split up briefly (he possibly moved out for a short while) but then (cliche) she took him back. I can't understand why with kids involved she'd want to live like that. On top of that they'd been having issues in the marriage for a while and had started counselling (before she found out about the drugs) Please someone enlighten me?

Because of the children?

It's different strokes for different folks. But it would be a deal breaker for me. No way would I put up with all that.

Yea just don't get it esp as they've had problems previous to this.

Life's complicated?
Drug abuse/misuse takes place in all socio/economic classes?
Walk a mile in their shoes?
It's easy to judge but who knows if it's not your life.

Hm

Have you posted about this before, OP?

No just in response to another thread

@FlourBreadcrumbs if she cares about them she'd leave

I think I remember this too...

It would be a dealbreaker for me. Both the class A drug taking and the lying. And yes, especially where children are involved. I've been there and I would leave at the first sign of a destructive addiction now. I couldn't survive through that hell again.

But clearly your relative has decided she wants to make it work, and there's nothing you can do other than respect that decision and stay supportive. They may just make it work, and if they don't they will need your support.

I think he sucked her back in (promised he'd change and all that).
