• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

We have been extremely broke because my wife's spending has been way out of control. We were really hard pressed and she stole money out of my wallet twice and denied it. We sold the old mobile for $13,500.00 three weeks ago, she pulsed out all of it hundreds at a time and spent it on drugs, or so she says. I think she has money for future drugs but she denies it. It's humanly impossible to do $9,500.00 worth of Dialaudid in less than three weeks. I told her last night either she leaves or I do. If she refuses to leave, I won't pay the electric bill that's overdue so the electricity and well pump will be off Thursday. She has a sister that is a nurse back in Ohio, I suggested that she go there. She will be close to her grandmother and parents. Maybe she will realize what she blew, a good husband and a nice home full of her pets in time.

she never was able to have children so animals have been her kids and I understand and try to feed them all. Seven dogs and three puppies, five cats, two horses and two bearded dragons. I told her, "You stole from us, all of us. You took the money we had for food for these guys, what am I going to do now?"

The worst part, I told her, is looking back at the bank account (which I should have been doing other than I trusted her) She pulsed out hundreds of dollars for drugs, picked her her friend that she got the drugs from, then came to my job needing money. I gave her $40.00 that i had earmarked for gas. Meanwhile, I was eating Ramen noodles at 15 cents a pop for lunch and driving 55 with the AC off to save gas.

How can people, even on drugs be so cruel to the ones that love them?

All I can say is trust Jesus. My wife managed the finances quite well throughout our marriage. We were married roughly 12 years when I called to report storm damage on our house and the bank told me we were in forclosure. I instantly wanted to know where the money meant to pay mortgage went. The back stated that we already had two modifications and wouldn't qualify for another. Without extremely high payments, we'd loose the house. As it turns out, she was taking the money and spending it on boosing and partying with work friends. She'd take time off or leave early to go out with them. She began having an affair with both a man and a woman she worked with. After pleading for counseling and reconciliation she still left to have her "lifestyle".

I can say that since she left, God has provided all my needs one way or another. And God will keep and provide for you too brother.

You're in my prayers.
