Hi Heather,

Almost 2 weeks ago childrens aid came back into my life because of him barging into my house and assaulting me I've admitted to them of the drugs but I am way above them also since my husband left I have the kids and I signed up for 1 on 1 counselling, I am currently attending a group for abused women, have the kids signed up (everthing is a waiting list) for a mom and me abuse free group, I have gone to a course on how to deal with your kids through separation and divorce (coping strategies) I did all this on my own way before children's aid got involved. However yesterday through the advice of c.a.s. I called for 1 on 1 counselling with an addiction centre in my city, I wanted to make this call a long time ago but something held me back I guess it could have been fear for my husband I don't want him to have the kids taken away from him but now I'm seeing it like maybe if this is his rock bottom so be it I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE ANYMORE. Too many things have been said to me in a negative way when I feel all I have done since he left is all for the positive I could never take him back but I do want my husband around for his kids. and yes I know he has to want it himself but out of anyone I know him best and having walked hand in hand down the road of addiction with this man all this is hard for me HAND IN HAND WE WALKED TOGETHER! It all hurts so bad so very bad I suppose in a way I want him to be sober to feel all the pain, sorrow, regret, and remorse that i am carrying being clean.I didn't think I needed support for my addictions, didn't think I felt the effects of withdrawl (these are not severe for me....amazingly) but I do. I go July 11 for counselling with my past addictions. I have come along way since January....have a long way to go...still...and every day that I wake up to those 2 kids of mine I thank god that He gave me this chance to prove myself that I was not me then but I am me now and forever.

Thanks for just listening ......MEANS ALOT
