Can withdrawals cause them to say things they don’t mean? Or is that when the truth comes out?

Kratom has ruined my marriage. my husband is weaning off after over a year of falling back into it. the marriage fell apart over the last year due to him relapsing after what seemed like 3 years clean.

5 years ago he was deep into the Kratom and had an affair for a year long distance (he only met her physically a few times)

after it all came out and she reached out to me, he apologized and got clean and we relocated for his job

i dont want to make this too much about the marriage problems and maybe I’m blaming Kratom for the real problems. it just never seems like he’s his real self on the kratom

fast forward to the last year of living in hell. after a good few years, he slipped back into the Kratom full force and turned into a person I didn’t recognize once again. treating me like I was nothing and acting like an empty shell, making bad judgemoment calls

we have two teenage daughters and his job wants him to now relocate out of state. We were dealing with all that when I realized that I just couldn’t do another move with him on this stuff. I told him I wasn’t going a week and a half ago and he then started quitting, dramatically lowering his dose to just mostly a bedtime dose.

had I known he was going to quit, I wouldn’t have said I wasn’t going. Now he’s in withdrawals and sick and angry and said he’s done with me. I’ll get little glimmers of the old him where he’s kind and then back to anger and blaming me for everything and saying he was never an addict

should I take what he’s saying and just be done? Things are so great when he’s off of the Kratom. But I thought with him quitting, he wouldn’t make me the target of his anger. He’s lashing out and acts like he despises me. Our house is on the market and should sell soon and I don’t know if I should just see an attorney and cut ties and divorce him? We had two daughters and have been together since we were young, 18 years total now.

is this something he may regret and it’s the withdrawals possibly speaking, is this normal during withdrawals to turn on your spouse? i Want to support him but I’m not sure at what cost as he’s blaming me for everything and anything while hes psychically sick from quitting

The other side

I’m on the other side of the quitting Kratom piece. my husband is weaning off after over a year of falling back into it. the marriage fell apart over the last year due to him relapsing after what seemed like 3 years clean.
