(14,858 posts)All I knew was that her behavior changed dramatically a few months into the marriage, and she had secretly put me in credit card debt through high-interest rate ATM cash withdrawals. That was back in the days of banking without the internet, and she always got the mail before I did... until one day when I returned home from work early and saw one of the long credit card statements nearly bursting out of the envelope from so many ATM transactions.
I later heard about her drug use from one of her friends. A few months after that, she was convicted of crack possession.
Edit: Her long-time friend also revealed to me that my ex-wife was a drug addict when she was younger, but she had kicked the habit before meeting me and during our 1.5 year courting / living together phase... which was a far happier time.
