Question by klyang47: I need some advice on whether or not i should stay in this marriage?
I am 28 years old and my husband is 33. I have been with him for almost 8 years now, and we’ve been married for four years. We have two children, a 5 1/2 year old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. For the most part, we’ve been pretty happy…up until like 2-3 years ago…we just weren’t getting along at all. When I was about 5 months pregnant with our 2nd child, he would never be home. He was always at his friends house til like 3 or 4 am…just hanging out having a beer or whatever. I was home with a 2 1/2 year old toddler and pregnant. I spoke to him many times, but it didn’t work. Things kept going like that and then I had our son. Then things were okay for a little bit.    Read more...

It can only be dispensed at government regulated clinics and patients must report to the clinic every day to receive their dose.
