I Tried It All

Yes I contacted CPS. They took statements from me and my 2 children. They contacted my husband by phone, which he did not answer, asking him to contact them. This was over a month ago. I have called the police. I was told they cannot do anything. My husbands brother is the chief of police in a nearby city. Just the mention of our last name gets everything swept under the rug. I know that nothing I do will stop this. I will be washing my hands clean of this family and never associating me to their sick last name.

I am so sorry. I can't imagine your frustration and I don't blame you for getting out of that crap. If your DH can't choose you over forcing his kid to not smoke pot at home, I would be outta there too!

Okay so the OP is probably going to get mad and say I'm attacking her and everyone else is probably going to agree but I smell BS.

Seriously? CPS did nothing and the cops did nothing? Sounds like a lot of BS to me.

I have tolerated a lot of crap being with DH but drug abuse is not something I'm willing to deal with. It's a deal breaker for me. It's dangerous and stupid. If DH is okay with going to jail and loosing SS that's fine but I'm not willing to put my child through that. I would leave in a heartbeat. Go live with your parents or siblings or a friend...anything to get you and your kids away from that situation.

I have not ever posted anything that was BS about the situation I am dealing with. First off, my husband works til 7-8 every night. CPS had left him 2 voicemails that he told me about, but he refuses to call them back. CPS has come to my house twice to talk to me and unless it is considered life threatening they do not show up late in evenings, so catching my husband for an interview is not happening. So CPS tells me if SS is doing it I should take other kids and leave. Yeah really! Leave my house while SS smokes out. and as far as the cops are concerned, if they don't smell it or see it there's nothing they can do.

Not only is your DH's attitude about this endangering the ENTIRE FAMILY, your home is becoming a haven for other underage drug users. The longer it goes on, the more likely it will be that - at the very least - you will start finding stuff missing around the house.

Peanut, you need to leave. It's a bad situation and your children are in the mess with you. DH is not interested in being a father or a husband and I'm afraid he could hurt you.
