Before we were married he casually mentioned he was in a substance
abuse program, because of his federal job, naming
alcohol. I didn’t know it was cocaine use, till he tried to hook me on it. I have been married to a lying, manipulative, angry man for 25 years. I am now 72, he is 71. I had my suspicions off and on, but it really got worse the last two years. I couldn’t identify the horrible smell on him. He has had many medical problems, that he made excuses for.
