Sitting in the emergency vet room for 4 hours as of right now while my 7yr old Blue Heeler is getting tests. 3rd time this month, but he hasn't eaten in 3 days and now we even drink water. He's been on antibiotics a month now for bloody mucus from his nose and a fever. Vet thought he might gotten grass stuck in his nose at first, but now there's open sores blossoming around his mouth, in his ears, and his eyes leak bloody puss now too. Barely able to stand up and walk.
My wife "went out with her boss got a beer" at 830 feisty before last. She never came home until it was breaking dawn. I work 12 hour shifts 6am-6pm. We have a 4yr old son who I couldn't leave home alone so I had to call off work, using my last Day for the year. Now if I actually get sick before Jan 1st I'll lose my union job. I'm 45, she's 43, but recently reconnected with horrible friend who just moved back from FL. Coke addict. My wife refuses to take a drug test even though I said I'd take one at the same time.
So 5 times in 2 months she's stayed out partying with her friends. 2 times even taking our son with her for the night. I was a heroin addict for almost 20 yrs. Haven't relapsed in 5 years, not since our son was born. But this morning both calling divorce lawyers, because my wife's response is "I'm allowed to go out. Your just trying to control me", my dog/best friend is dieing, and I caught myself thinking about driving to Baltimore or Philly to get away and it instantly scared me. I go to a program, and luckily have a good counciler who I'll call tomorrow. I'm at a loss right now. We should've stayed in Colorado where my wife had supportive friends instead of moving back to MD where everyone is dead, divorced, can't see their children for years because CPS, or still actively using etc... Just a bad scene overall and I'm having a hard time with the pressure. Had to put it out there somewhere, might as well be SLAP.
