any advice about divorcing your highschool sweetheart?
I'm very down about my marriage.I married my high school sweetheart after being together 6yrs.We've been married 5yrs.He's not exactly a winner. As a matter of fact He's picked up a very nasty drug habit.He's gone because he says he doesn't want to hurt me again,if he messes up again.Oh did I mention he left me for a crackhead trick. So any advice on how to move on from the hurt,shame,and embarrassment I'm feeling right now?

If you cannot afford counseling try Alanon it is not just for families of Alcoholics. They have an awesome support system which you can use to lean on when times are bad. He's not gone because he doesn't want to hurt you, he's gone because he's into the drugs and that lifestyle.
Remember hon, you didn't cause his drug problems, he's making choices. I was married to a druggie for 2 years and he left me and our daughter for another druggie and 23 years later he is dead and was still using at the time. It is not usual to have your feelings, but once you get yourself into some counseling your self esteem will improve and you will be better equipped to move forward with your life.

Hi hun, definitely get some counseling it sounds as though you are going to need it. At least he has done the right thing about removing himself from your life, even if it doesnt feel like it right now you are better off without him.
You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about ok and in time you will see that. You have to think about if you were your best friend what advise would you give??? Move on slowly ok it really is for the best.
Good luck with your future...

if u can afford it counseling..if not get with some of your girlfriends and have an ex-hubby bashing party, vent, scream, cry , remenisce about the good times you had, and just take it 1 day at a time and if u can try to help him help himself... good luck with that
