Hi guys,

First of all, I'm a big time lurker around here and never posted something.
But I would like to hear some stories from other people who his or her partner went to rehab.

My s/o is going to rehab (long stay + therapy) for the second time (first time was a mess so I'm still unexperienced with this).


I'd like to know how the contact between you two went and, how did you feel while your partner was away for a period of time.


I'm sorry for my grammar english isn't my first language!

PM's are welcome too :)
 
I'm lucky enough never to have been in this situation so I'll leave a better answer to someone more experienced, but I just wanted to show my support and say I hope things'll be okay <3
 
All I have to say is give him his space.
And don't make it about you.

You may feel like he deserted you, or cut you off- but really it has nothing to do with you.

But, aren't you allowed to visit after a little while?

Ahh I see! Then it's time to get some more posts haha.

Yeah, but the first 3 weeks only family members will be allowed to visit -_-. Then after 5 weeks, he will have permission to spend the weekends at home.
 
My girlfriend is about to go in for 6 weeks to help with depression and an ED. I'm really excited that she may finally be getting the help she needs, so I figure I'll just stay back. Go in when she needs the company (She's already informed them that I'll be visiting at least once a week, there's not much hope of standing between me and her if she needs me), and just let it be about her getting better. It's going to get messy at some point, I'm sure, and I'm ready for that.

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack your thread, but I wanted to say something. Don't really have advise, so a sympathetic relation in situation was the best I could muster :).
 
I agree, I think just be there in the backround, strong for him when he needs you. Don't make it about you. Let him know you love him and you're not going anywhere and you're proud of him. But I think, past that, there's not a whole lot you can do for him while he's in there. Just be a rock for him.
