Dear Jasmine,
My husband and I are/were recovering drug addicts. We met in classes that were court ordered, started dating, moved in together and ultimately married in 2006.
We live behind his parents on their land and had no problems until now. We have relapsed, they know, my husbands business is here on the property. He had a 20 year marriage that ended in divorce partly because of drugs but mainly she wanted to move on with her life.
Tonight it came to a head, I have 30 days to get him off drugs or it is going to be bad for me she told me. I love my husband but he says now since they are pissed at me it will end up like the first marriage.
They control him and always have. By the way we do not have the money to move. His business is a diesel truck shop, building he built and there is no way we can afford to move. Please help.

Dear DeAnna,
I can see that your husband is being control by his parents. What is even more disturbing is that he is willing to let his marriages fail because of his inability to control himself and his drug problem. If you have a drug problem, you need to clean yourself up, not just for the sake of your marriage but also for the sake of yourself.
You and your husband need to start attending classes and trying to get clean. If not then, I don’t see any reason for either of you to stay in this marriage because it sounds like you two love drugs more then each other.
Always here,
Jasmine
