My CD was high on drugs while working remote for the past two plus years. He got a paid trip to rehab, a few months off, and now he’s back, fucking everything up again. He’s never going to get fired because the ECD loves him. I need a new gig.

Yep, take the hint and move on.

There were assurances things would change when he got back. They HAVE NOT. This feels like being married to an addict. Im done.

Get out of there while you still can and try not to let it drag you down. When the company is solely based on connections and not accountability it isn't worth the time. While our industry may be more lenient than others, there still needs to be a line.

I agree.

Are they still occasionally delivering results? I ask because you mention the ECD loves them. Or is it just a case of looking after their friend? ALWAYS do what’s right for you - so if you (understandably) don’t wanna work under that then absolutely leave. And tell your ECD why. But if you think they’re a self destructive maniac that could catch lightning in a bottle and help your career then maybe considering sticking around.

Insurance question. Change to husband’s insurance which has higher premiums but no deductible and 100% coverage for certain services. Or stay on my high deductible plan with large deductible but I have the HSA? Other option would be just to move kids to my husbands, they use a decent amount of healthcare between doctors and therapists, and keep myself on high deductible so that I can contribute to HSA (although firm match may be lower).
