My husband has had 7 jobs within the past year or so. He is currently unemployed and seeking employment (shall I say he goes job hunting for about 2 hours every week.) He is a recovering drug addict and has little motivation to do much else. He disappears without explanation, usually for a couple of days. He is very self involved. He doesn’t much care about anyone else’s feelings and makes it known.
I support the family by my full-time job and his mother watches our daughter during the day because I cannot trust him.
He has stolen from me. He has stolen and/or pawned my jewelry, cameras, car, cell phones, appliances and money. He apologizes but is less than heartfelt.
He has gone to rehab many times but to no success. I live in lock down. I keep my valuables in a safe.
I am obviously unhappy and a and am just exhausted of this lifestyle. I never know what to expect and I just don’t like that feeling. I moved out of our apartment and moved in with my parents. My lease is up after this month and I am not signing a new lease with him. I cannot afford it. I want a divorce and I also want full custody of our daughter. I don’t know how likely a judge will grant me full custody but I think I have a good shot.
My husband does not have a job. He does not have health insurance. He does not have a car. He takes off without being accountable for his actions and still does drugs.(I haven’t tested him for drugs but his behavior is an indication.)
I didn’t want things to be this way and I wish he was responsible but I guess my question is how likely is it that I get full custody? I want my child to be safe and the environment that he is creating is disruptive.
