Hi Ladies! I come to you writing this post at a time in my life that is the worst right now. I have been battling this drug and alcohol addiction that my husband has for a long time. Now, it has become worst. Right now, I do not know what to do. He has left and abandoned his family and has even threatened to kill me. Last week, I found a knife under our bed mattress. This has really been worrying me because his behavior is unusual! He seems possessed and has been saying some unnatural things! We are only living off of the small income from my work at home job. It does not help at all with bills, food, and mainly shelter for the kids and I. All I am asking is that you all please keep me in your prayers. I have a lot on my mind and I really want to meet some new mommies to release the stress. Are there any other mommies in the 757 that are going through rough times with your husbands? What resources have you all found to help you and your family? Thanks a lot for any feedback that I receive or any information to help make our lives better! Thank you all!

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Please take care of yourself and your babies. I don't know about the knife under the mattress and the killing threats...that seems really scary....something not take lightly. Maybe he should seek counseling to help with the addictions. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. We all go through rough times in life and in our marriages. We had a rough financial time a couple of years back and not to say that we are in a perfect place now but way better than before. It does take time and lots of love and patience to get through it. But battling the addiction will make it tougher. I wish you the best and pray everything works out.

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. I want to find resources to find a place to stay so that he does not know where we are.

oh wow, i'm sorry you are going through this!
i'm not from the states but i know that they have woman shelters, maybe you should look those up, they help you get your footing agin and give you a save haven for you and you babies!
trust me when i say this is no situation to be in and especially for your kids to grow up in! my father is and alcaholic and he was very violent when he got drunk i still remember the night were i sat in my room and heard him beat my mom up, and the nex morning she'd have 2 black eyes and swollen lips. She stayed with him and always resented her for it...i know it's crazy but i did! she died last year after having a stroke....and was still in a miserable relationship, he was awful to her inbetween being great to her....that's how the addicts work, they are GREAT one day but always hold a cloud over you to sort of keep you in your place!!
i say please get yourself out that situation for you adn your kiddos!!!
i just want to say that i know how you feel. i grew up with my father, if you can call him that, drinking and beating my mom. he would also do things to me and my sister and esp. my brother. he hated my brother. he has passed away now, but i will never, ever forget what he did. i'am 46 now and i still think about it everyday. my mom finally got the guts to leave , but only after we kids were grown and gone. ever since then, she is finally free. please don't take any kind of abuse, you don't deserve it. get out and get help!! i will keep you in my thoughts. let us know how it turns out. we do care!! armymom2412
Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. I will keep you all posted. I just don't know where I am headed now, but the kids and I will be safe. I will keep you posted...........................
