I've been married for 24 years to a man who has always wanted to help others. He would do anything to help people going so far as getting us deep in debt. He's been a good husband and I have loved him dearly but I learned that he is having affairs with crack addicts - particularly young women. He is 61 and his friends are in their 20s. He convinced me to help out one young woman and we allowed her to move into our house. I truly thought I was helping her and supplying a stable home life. I have now learned that my husband was getting drugs for her in exchange for sex. His interest in me left about the time his mother passed away over 7 years ago. That was when I noticed a change in his personality. I've been told that he will provide drugs or alcohol to his friends just to see them get high and get in trouble. I am at a loss for words or understanding and am filing for divorce. Can someone out there help me understand his thinking? I've never been around the world of addicts until he began helping these folks out. I've developed friendships with some of them and know there is good in them. But now I am afraid my husband is enabling them to move back to drug addiction for his own satisfaction. I know I must be rambling but I am scared and confused. Thank you.
