Your story is heart-breaking. Drug addiction is so horribly insidious. Your comment about hating yourself for being too weak to "stand by your man" struck a chord for me. What about him stepping up to BE A MAN and seeking help for himself? I can relate to your story because I used to be the guy who used and lied - over and over again. Looking back on it, my girlfriend at the time used very good judgement to break our relationship. She tried to hold on and she did for a long time...but she eventually wised up. It wasn't until I lost just about all of the people in my life due to my addictions that I truly saught help. Take care and be good to yourself.
