    Your concern shouldn't be about whether your hubby will pick up bad habits. It should be that drug addicts will do anything to get their next fix including stealing and harming loved ones. Send him to a detox center if it means taking a loan. Don't let him into your lives.

    Dear

    Never keep a person on drugs with you. It is best they are left at your in laws house and it would be good if you can render some financial help to them. It is horrible to live with a drug addict. They can do anything. They steal, play mid games with you for the money and can also get into troubles outside the home, which will make the cops come home etc, and in the end the person living with the addict becomes a mental wreck and it takes a lot of time to get back to normal.

    I might sound very very negative, but experience teaches you a lot of things and I have learnt the hard way

    Regards
    Uma:hiya

    Admitting them into a detoxcenter is the best solution or else you will have these and more problems to deal with.

    Helping financially is the best thing you can do.

    Your fears abt your husband picking up the habit is real and can easily happen.
