HEather, I am not sure what state you are in, and it's rules as far as family law. I am in california, and when I took my husband to court, I told my story, showed his history of drug abuse, and received (temporary) sole legal/physical custody and supervised visits for him. Part of the orders was also that I cannot leave the state. I have family in Oregon, how I'd like to pack up and leave, but legally I can't. Also, mine has been trying to 'fight the fight' as far as the kids go. I know he loves them, but obviously something isn't right if he can't get his shyt together at almost 37 years old.
Best of luck to you. I struggle w/the same emotions you do. Mine is in rehab right now, but I honestly hold no hope that it'll 'work'. Why would it this time when it hasn't any other? So I hope my head continues to rule, and doesn't let the good ol heart step in when he gets out. I see no change in him so far, but it's only been 2 weeks. What I mean by that, is he crys and grovels (to his mom, not me, I don't afford him the opportunity) about how all he ev er wanted was a family, BUT since he didn't have a dad, blah blah. And then all he needs is love and support. All of the things that addicts say when they don't want to accept their own wreckage, is what is still coming out of my husband's mouth. He'll accept the 'problems', but there is always a 'but' to take it off of him.
Do you have any history on your husband due to meth? i.e. rehab, arrest, etc? Any and all of that would help in court. Mine never was arrested, but I had the rehab info. Also, I kept a daily journal of his comings and goings and actions, etc.
Best of luck to you.
