What next? Marriage Support
My wife and I have been together for 10 years and have 3 kids together.
Before the birth of our third child she confessed that she was addicted to kratom and had been using for the past year, and was self admitting for medical detox.
This blindsided me as I had never known her to jeopardize our family, yet alone our unborn child (at the time)
Our baby ended up in the NICU for precautionary detox and other issues and we are now trying to navigate what comes next. Post- partum had been difficult for her- not able to breastfeed as she had our previous kids and we are having to resort to formula off and on.
While she is now in therapy, my world has turned upside-down. Had to go through CPS visits, double guessing where she is going when she runs errands, concern for my newborns development as well as my middle child since she was nursing while using.
Being gaslit and lied to for over a year continues to make me double think so much. I too have started therapy, but really struggle with where to go in our relationship/partnership/marriage due to her decision.
Thanks for hearing me out… addiction is miserable…
