His wife abused Adderall while pregnant and spent her life savings on it, so he is considering divorce – Chip Chick

This man has been in a relationship with his 27-year-old wife for almost four years, and now he has discovered the terrible secret she has been hiding from him.

He is very angry with his wife, but is waiting until she calms down enough to decide whether divorcing her is the right solution. It’s certainly on the table for him, but he wants to be clear before moving on.

His wife has been addicted to Adderall for five years and takes dangerous doses daily. He also learned that his wife had been abusing this ADHD drug during a planned pregnancy.

They underwent in vitro fertilization to have a child, and he cannot understand why his wife agreed to it, knowingly doing something that could harm their child.

His wife lowered the dose of his medication herself to trick him into thinking she was doing something good by carrying their child.

But in reality, his wife was buying three prescriptions from friends and family in addition to her own dose and abusing all of them.

His wife had spent her entire life savings buying prescriptions and had no money left, which was an added shock.

He remains numb and terrified. When talking to a divorce lawyer, instead of acting impulsively, he tries to sort out his feelings.

He and his wife have separate finances, so his savings are safe. He considers this a blessing, but also a curse, because if they had shared finances, he might have found out about his wife’s Adderall abuse much earlier than he did.
