Misty :
My heart breaks for you every time your videos pop up on my feed. While not my husband or my partner, I love someone (sibling) who has battled addiction for 20+ years too. I struggled for many years to accept it, and I judged him as to how he could not get out. But one day, during the days my mom was ill with cancer, he came to stay for a week. It was in a moment that we were talking that it just kinda hit me. I understood how much he wanted to get away from it and how much it had a trip on his life. It was in that moment that there was some kind of understanding and acceptance that he was a different person than the one I knew and loved. Drugs had robbed him of that boy I knew in my heart and changed his mind of who he now was. It was in that moment, I viewed it all differently. A mind he wanted to escape, but couldn’t. He eventually went to rehab for several months. For the most part, he’s doing well. If he does drugs now, I am not aware. I don’t think he is, but one never knows. I also know there is a good chance that the drugs will call back to him again one day and he will slip. I know now, this is a forever fight he will endure and one he may not ever fully escape. My brother’s mind has changed, as the drugs created mental illness in him like schizophrenia and bipolar. I know he feels our love, but still fights those demons. Your husband loves you so much. It is apparent in how you talk about him and the videos you share. He was robbed of who he was and knew it. He wanted so much to love you the way he knew you deserved. I hope someday, you are able to move past some of the longing and sadness. You deserve to be able to let go of some of this pain. I’ve been watching long enough to know you have your good days and your bad. And o hope that whatever I’ve said here is not taken in the wrong way, as I really do hear and see your love and pain. I know you put this out there to hopefully help others who are dealing with the same. But remember, you can’t always sacrifice yourself for others, as sometimes you need to choose you and your happiness over others. I hope that makes sense. With love!💕
