<prompt> Human: I rarely post on reddit, so Im sorry if I do this improperly. Also, this is a long and complicated story, so I apologize for that as well. Two years ago I discovered that my husband was a drug addict. Apparently he had been using cocaine, unbeknownst to me, on occasion with his friends. This snowballed pun intended into a crack addiction. At that time I also discovered that my husbands addiction had led us into financial ruin. He spent nearly every penny on drugs. His money, my money, and our childrens money. All of it went to drugs. In a year, he managed to spend over 100,000. Most of the money I had received as an inheritance from my grandfather. When I received my inheritance, my husband and I opened up two savings accounts, one for each of our children. Both of our names were on the account, hence his ability to use the funds. The rest of the money he used came from his job attorney and mine teacher.Ill admit to full responsibility on my role as a stupid piece of shit for not even bothering to look at our bank accounts during this time. My husband, up until this point, had always handled our finances. I didnt even know my bank account number, much less how to log in onto our account and see the transactions therein. He also handled all of the bills, so I had no idea that we were falling behind. Basically I dropped the ball, and it is no fault but my own, for letting things go as far as they did. But my husband and I have been together for almost 20 years. We started dating in high school. I have loved and trusted him for more than half of my life. At no point in time did I ever think this would happen.Fast forward two years and we are still married. My parents, who love my husband like a son, paid for him to get the treatment he needed and save us from losing our house. We were forced to file for bankruptcy due to all the credit card debt my husband had acquired in the process of spending our cash on drugs. He had opened multiple credit cards under my name, all of which I had no idea even existed. I dont remember the total amount, but I know it was over 50,000 of credit card debt. We also lost both of our vehicles in the process. Needless to say, my credit has been destroyed.Today my husband is clean and we are slowly rebuilding our credit. I recently received another inheritance of some 60,000 from my great aunt, and I am looking to invest it in the safest way possible for my children. The goal is to have that 60,000 turn into 100,000 within ten years. Hopefully more as it will be split between my two children. I am terrified of the stock market. Im afraid that I will invest this money and all hell will break loose. I need this money to be safe, but grow enough so my children wont be left in the lurch yet again. I just dont know what to do.TL;DR Husband spent all our money on drugs. Looking to grow 60,000 into 100,000 in as little amount of time as possible. Crack is whack.  <response>: You cant accept no risk and expect to grow your money. 10 years is enough to ride out most tumultuous markets - I would just put the money into a diversified index fund and not worry about it.
