My husband is in detox and wanted to kill himself last night.

I drove him to the ER. He violated probation a month in, and I am going to feel so lost if he either goes to jail or treatment. He really needs inpatient treatment.

SIMPLE - either he gets treatment or you LEAVE his sorry arse

@nedkelly: he started doing drugs because of depression that didn't get attended to. There is an underlying factor that drives him to numb. Everyone is capable of being selfish. He has worked long hard hours to maintain a roof over our head. He is not a selfish bastard. He is my husband, a father, someone's brother, someone's child, an uncle, and he put his addictIon second to us, because he was ashamed and in denial. He never once left for a night or days on end just to use. If I needed something he would help. He would sacrifice his sleep to let me get extra hours of sleep while he got the kids up in the morning (worked overnights). you jump to an assumption as if you know him. You do not.

@Starkizzed21: YOU picked a WINNER! 7 years, kids, NO Marriage! No Money! No Home!
YOU'RE Totally Co-Dependent and Delusional
Freaking Addicted Hooked to this guy who will likely suck the life out of you and the children... does he hit and scream and threaten you a lot?
Drop by an Abused Woman's Shelter to visit and see what your likely outcome will be.... Perhaps you can get treatment for Co-Dependency and How to Live with and Manage the life of an Addict.

@Th1nkF1rst: we are married. Wow. Just stop. We have a home, have money- you're a delusional asshole who does not actually think first.
He's not abusive. Never ever has been.

Well think of it this way you'll feel even more lost if he dies from O.D.

I'm not trying to be cold or rude.. It's jus life's is to precious.

I recovered 30 years ago. I was lucky and "got it" the first time.
Over 75% of people who try, will succeed, but it may take more than one try.

So sorry youre going through this. Maybe treatment will change his life for the better. I wish you both well.
