It's not always the drugs fault. Wow, what an angry bunch.
While I do sympathise with you in dealing with your husbands, they sound like they are very self centered, lying, cheating, drug addicted scumbags. There is no excuse for someone to be so irresponsible as to leave their medication out where their children can find them. Children should never be subjected to that kind of behaviour. Especially from their parents. But, I do have to say, they would most likely be pretty much the same if they were not on drugs. There are plenty of sober jerks out there as well, you are living, walking and talking proof of that. I have been taking pain medication for many years now and although I am not as productive as I used to be, I still manage to take care of my family quite well. The way you look at people who take drugs is absolutely ridiculous, it would be no different than me saying that all women are self centered, nagging, controlling, argumentative non supportive witches. Labeling a large group of people based on the actions of a few is not a fair representation of that group. The drugs do not dictate one's personality or actions, although they may magnify them. If a person is a jerk while taking drugs, they most likely were jerks before they started, just maybe not to the same extent.
Anyway, that's my two cents. I hope things get better for you guys.
