I haven't visited here in a long time. I guess I was just hoping my husband was REALLY changing this time. Since the last hair follicle test back in June, he has definitely made a huge effort to change his behavior toward me and the kids. He's accomodating, helpful, considerate, almost bending over backward to be nice. He has had a few hiccups lashing out in anger (throws things, get's in my 14 year olds face to scream at her). Anyway, the holidays were hard because I had that GUT feeling we all know too well. I retested his hair just after Thanksgiving, to find it positive with high readings. I guess he was overcompensating to keep me from being suspicious. He even told me they were scheduling drug tests at work, I assume to keep me off his back. After great fear and agony, I retained a lawyer, and I'm filing the paperwork the first of the week. WHY DO I FEEL SO GUILTY??? I told him my plan, and he cried and begged me not to. Just one more chance... I guess the 5th time is a charm, right? My kids are going to be devestated. How do I prepare for all that is to come? I'm so, so sad.
