Can you live with that uncertainty. We know **** all about you and all your circumstances so it's difficult to give advice.

He brought up a good point. Now I really have no idea what your situation is like, other than what you've decided to let us know. Having said that, the way I see it, your child's best interest should come before anyone's, including your own. You and your husband were the ones who brought that kid into the world, and being raised with a parent addicted to drugs is one of the worst situations you can put a kid through. Your kid didn't choose their lifestyle, so it's your responsibility to make his or her life the best it can possibly be, meaning not exposing him/her to something as awful as a drug addiction.
