Husband left because of drug addiction?
by Brandi
My husband and i have been together for 10yrs. He recently left our 3 children and me for his drug addiction, he has told his sister that he wishes i would call the cops to come
get him.
His sister and i feel he needs to be in rehab or sober living, we can no longer help him ourselves. I don’t know what else to do for him, i don’t want to lose my husband or my children to lose there father. What do i do, how do i go about doing and intervention on him without him hating me or his sister?
