I think my husband is on meth

Here are the symptoms
erratic behavior,wears sun-glasses all the time-even indoors,he seems to have aged decades,hair long and unkempt,teeth discolored,weightloss of fifty pounds or more in a few months,sometimes he seems paranoid,anger outbursts,cut himself off his family,new and strange friends and several affairs going on simultaniously.We are separated but I have tried to tell his friends and family that he needs professional help but they all buy into his story that it's all my fault.I forgot to mention that his hands sometimes shake so badly that he has problems doing simple things.
You tell me...

Definitely cause for concern. If he is, he isn't getting it for free... have you noticed any changes financially? Money missing or anything like that? Have you looked through the house thoroughly for any paraphernalia?

He never has money although he has a steady job.I should also mention that several people have told me about the drastic change in his personality to erratic and unpredictable.

It takes a very rich person about year to be on the street. I don't know what kind of a job he has but it wont be long until he is on the street. I know it is hard to watch him decline, but it sounds like you can do nothing about it.
This is hard to say but you need to get away and take whatever is left to take. You can not help him but you can go down with him.

I agree but since I called the police when he became violent he has moved out.I asked his friends to get him professional help but they don't see the problem.He is moving to another city altogether.I am however still struggling with the years of abuse that I could not explain.

I know it is hard, but having him leave your town will make it much easier on you. Sometimes we need to say.. there is nothing I can do. I think that is a very brave and hard thing to do
Perhaps with him gone and you know it was drugs... .now maybe you can begin to heal. Remember you are not alone. There are so many. Why don't you try to find a good support group?

My ex husband is a meth addict and that is why we are divorced. You are describing him perfectly. The sad thing is he won't change until he is ready to change. He will lose everything he has if he doesn't realize he needs help. The only thing you can do is stay strong in your convictions that he has a problem. If you have children with him then you need to talk to an attorney about him not getting visitation. Be very careful when he is angry this is usually when they are coming down and he could become violent.

My opinion i think he is myself because one of my family members used to do the same thing and found out and wore his sunglasses inside and also when it was really dark. and there was alot of anger problems to.
