Life was perfect and going on well in my family, when I discovered my wife became a drug addict, she was having an affair with someone, is a dangerous man and a drug addict too!
I have two daughters, one of ten and the other 14 years old who are everything to me, and worried that they can come to harm too, I explained to them and took them with me, thus abandoning my wife, I didn’t let her know anything and moved quietly away from her and now filing for divorce, am I doing the right thing?

The fact that you moved out is a right step you have taken but you must first be sure that all is over between your wife and you. However, you should have talked to her about why you are filing for divorce, you can still do it now.. Do explain to her why you feel insecure and chose to leave with your two daughters. Lay stress on the fact that she's a drug addict and also betrayed you. You can do this on the phone if you want. Maybe she'll learn to be more responsible of her actions.. As a final advice, tell her that drugs is a source of unhappiness and she should quit.

There is double problem here, cheating and drug addiction.

Even if she been able to get out of the drug abuse, there would be still another problem, the cheating matter. Well based on that I would say that you have made the correct decision to leave her. Thus filing a divorce.

In my opinion you did the right thing.

You have a daughter who is in her teenagers, and she is in the transistion stage. The bad influence of the mother might affect the girl. This is for sure not a good example for your daughters.

Go ahead, don't regret. She deserves it.

I agree with Jazzi, also get tested for STD's you don't know what she may have past onto you from having sex or from doing drugs. Good luck...

If what you’re doing is for the safety of your children, then yes you are right but are you sure of your accusations? Is there no hope at all to save her? She could accuse you of kidnapping if she’s not doing drugs or if you can’t prove that she’s taking drugs. Talk to a lawyer to know if that is possible or if you have to take the children back.

She might not like the fact that you’ve gone without her knowledge. Why don’t you make an ultimatum first before making any rash decision? If she agrees to drop the drugs, then everything would be ok with the children but for you that would be difficult to accept her back as she had cheated on you. What the others have said is right; she could have passed diseases to you. Have a check up to make sure you’re ok.

I think what you did is best for your safety and your children’s safety too! Drugs would control her acts and she would act dangerously without being conscious about it until too late. You should divorce her immediately. You won’t have to pay pension I think and you’ll have no troubles getting full custody of your children as she’s obviously not capable of taking care of them.

you should have explain to her the reasons why you have left becuase of the children she has the right to know where her kids are she can even file a case against you for kidnapping hr childfren before things go worst. try to find a solution to your problem with her.
