The man that I have been in love with for the past 18 years is using drugs once again, I have a 15 year old dauhter, and we have a 12 year old son. They are my life, my ex pretty much has raised my daughter when he was around. She loves him more then her own father which she sees every other week, but the toll of someone using has put a large rift between them as well as his son and myself. He left the house about 5 weeks ago, and as each week passes we may see him once a week and each week he looses more weight, and just looks as if he's getting further away from us. He chooses to hang around people who I have come to find out are using, which he has been around for the past 3 months when our problems started. He stopped coming hime after work, would show up 3 or 4 hours later sometimes longer and be completely drunk, and after looking back his mood and yelling I relize it wasn't just the drinking. I have never seen him this bad in this way, it was a everyday Monday thru Thursday thing and sometimes Fridays. The weekend he was at home and a different person. Each time he goes back to drug use he stays away from us, which I guess is good but he gets worse because he's around them everyday and night. I just don't know what to I have so much to say but no one to talk too. When he's clean he's a really good person, but I have two kids to think about. But at the same time I can't give up on him, I'm truly the only one he has. His mom turns her head to the whole issue as if nothing is wrong with him, just like she's done with her other sons who's been on crack for 18 years more on then off. Please help I feel like I have failed him and have failed my kids,

Thank you for your advise, I did advise him Tuesday that he would have no visitation with our son till he got clean regardless if he continues to lie and say he's not on anything. I know he has stayed away due to he is using and I guess the guilt of knowing he's messing up. I pray for him each night

In love with a user of cocaine and other drugs

I am an addict and hopefully i will die a clean one. My eldest daughter Ciara is just that little bit older than i am clean. She is fully growed with a life of her own. Last night we talked on the phone about her mom Sheila who was the only person i knew in addiction who found the courage to do the right thing and leave with Ciara on condition i could only see her if i got clean. i would have died rather than stop using despite its horror and violence but the old toys and abandoned cot stopped me in my tracks. Somehow i got back to a meeting and have stayed clean ever since. Sheila buried her dad recently and Ciara was worried. All i could do was tell her the truth. Sheila and i were so madly in love and had so much in common it was uncanny. Sadly addiction meant i could not live there but i am glad we all never lived together. Ciara knows i have always been truly caring, loving and responsible to her mum and it isn't about ME any more. i made them happier by staying away and giving back all the peace of mind i stole through selfishness and ignorance. i was incredibly loving and great with children but not at 4.30 in the morning. i hope your man makes it to recovery and becomes the man you see and love, Lem

so what is more important in your life you and the kids or you and him? he needs to get help and the only way you can help him is to turn him away. if he ever realizes that he needs to get clean to have you and the kids then that is the picture you need to paint for him. i am on the verge of having 19 yrs clean and my ladder of importance is God, recovery, spouse,kids, grandkids. the only way you are going to be able to help him is to put your foot down and don't take any more bullsh*ts, any more excuses. you have to set the rules. it's called tough love. it's the only answer and the only way to truly get peace and serenity back in your life. if you ever need to talk send me a message,

 

N A hugs and love
