I Married a Drug Addict, What Should I Do?

Question by spunkysauza: I married a drug addict, what should I do?
Love the man I married. We were fine for the first couple of years, then we got pregnant, had a baby, and got a large inheritance. He used it to get hooked on Oxycontin (he had previously been an opiate addict, been to rehab 6 times before we met, didn’t use it when we were together until he got hooked). He went to rehab in April, spent his 30th birthday there, and he has relapsed about 7 times since then. He says he’s trying, but I have to drug test him each week and he denies everything until I have perfect proof. I love him, we have a daughter, I don’t want to give up on him. Anyone else been married to an addict? Is it worth staying? Do they change? Can they?

No- they don’t change. 🙁 Get your kid out before it’s too late.
