On the last day of July 2009, I thought I would be celebrating sixteen years of marriage. To make a long agonizing story short, I wound up in jail for assault and my husband moved out three days later. What the papers didn't tell you is... six years earlier. hubby and I were involved in a domestic dispute. I was angry, intoxicated, and addicted to name a few and YES so was he. He never has hit me, that night I was punching him while he was pushed into a corner and when he reached out, and put his hand on my chest to prevent me from hitting him again,I fell backward. Hubby then stumbled and fell on top of me. My cervical spine was broken three times, that was treated with a halo (traction device). I also had a brain injury.... because I was intoxicated and uninsured the medical treatment that I recieved was substandard to say the very least. We made it for about fourteen months when he left the first time with my two boys. Three years later, after the "assault" he moved out again. However, this time he didn't take the kids. It has been almost six months now since he moved into a batchlor pad with his two single buddies. I cried for the first two and a half, and by the first of December I decided that I had to move on with my life. I stopped calling him or responding to his calls. Wednesday prior to Christmas Mr. Wonderful came over with quite a changed attitude to accompany his brand new Tatoo. All of the sudden, he wants to talk. It seems like yesterday he was busy denying the fact that I suffered a brain injury due to the fall. His answer for the brain injury is "she screwed up her brain when she was an opiate addict." Also, after I came home in traction.... he was busily out scoring whatever. The substance abuse seemed to continue until he left. Now that he doesn't do anything other than drink too much, he is now saying things like, "wow babe, I never noticed how distractable you are....how can I help?' Whats up? Is Mr. Toads Wild Ride Over? Why is he coming around now? I'm very nervous that this is too good to be true. Any takes on this situation? Seven months prior to his leaving, I quit using any and everything. I have been clean now for fifteen months.
