Here's a breakdown. I love my husband and I know he loves me and our children, but he struggles with addiction. Addiction to computer games, alchohol, cigarettes, whatever. He spends any extra money we have. I believe he has a good heart and he knows he is doing wrong to us, but can't stop himself. When I try to talk with him he makes excuses & always seems to find a way to blame me. Yes, I picked him and he did these things when we got together, but we had similar dreams for our future and I've changed to accomodate. I used to drink and smoke too, but that's not appropriate now that we have little kids. He agree's with that when he's in a good mood, but then quickly falls back into his comfort zone. Having grown up with an alchoholic father, I don't want my kids to go through that. Have you any experience with a situation like this? I don't want to leave, but I look at myself and feel like an idiot for staying. Actions speak louder than words, how do I deal with this?
