Meth Addiction

by Julie

(Denver )

My husband has been doing meth for the last, I would say, 5 months now. He would disappear almost every weekend and some times during the week.

He did not come home this past Thursday or didn’t go to work this past Friday. This will be his 3rd day missing his job. He does text me saying how sorry he is, and he wants to come home.

Today he was to go to work (late) he said, but he didn’t go to work. I honestly am at my wits end with all of this. I love him dearly.

We have a 7 year old son who this is affecting and I don’t know what to tell him because he is questioning why his daddy is always gone and not coming home. I don’t know whether I should sit him down and let him know what is going on.

I just don’t know what to do? I am so lost.

and Finally Remember:

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”
– Matthew 7:7-8
