Son tells me my husband has been taking speed

Question - (11 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 12 March 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Earlier this week our 13-year-old son told me that my husband had been taking speed.

He said that when he took him to his basketball training session at the weekend he offered him these "white pills that make you strong and feel good" whilst in the car. My son said no.

My son did his research, and found out that they were speed. My son also told me that he'd been repeatedly offering him them every time when he took him to basketball, and even when he came to pick him up from school (he said that he'd done it discreetly)

I phoned the police, but they said it was a civil matter, not a legal one, and thus nothing they could do.

I've tried talking to my husband about it, but he just rants at me, and insists our son is a liar, and says it's nonsense. I said to him about our son finding out.

I thanked my son for telling me this, and I know I can trust my son. I'm glad of this.

I told my husband I wanted a divorce, but he said "there'll be no divorce here, you're my f***in wife for God's sake!"

I've tried reasoning with him, but my husband just won't listen - what should I do to deal with the situation?

You called the police before first talking about it with your husband? You should not divorce your husband. Your husband should divorce you.

Ask your husband for a drug test. Or sneaky as it may be, maybe next time, your son can accept and bring it back to you as evidence. That would be the last resort of course, best not to involve your son more than neccessary. But if you husband insists on playing this deceptive, dangerous, stupid game...

And if you want a divorce, then obviously you are his f*ckin wife except now you don't want to be anymore!

He is not listening or trying to help the situation and if all this is true, then its very very bad (which I'm sure you already know!) Think of yourself and your son and safety. I would give him an ultimatum: get help or I leave
