THIS WAS ON ANOTHER POST; FROM A PERSON CALLED DFH. PLEASE READ IT:

‘I’m done

I’ve had enough. The last straw. I’m beginning to feel angry at everything, have struggled too long and suffered too much. I’m starting to hate. I’m becoming someone I don’t recognise.

My husband can keep his crack and his smack. It’s obviously more important to him than us. He has begged, borrowed, lied and stolen. Enough. I have 3 kids, struggled to keep the family and house going aswell as lied and covered his sorry ass. I’ve financially and emotionally supported him. And for what? He now gets to wave the rehab flag and say he will sort himself out? Well yes, do that but I will not be here. I’m out, done, finished.

So I’ve sold my house and bought another despite him doing absolutely everything to sabotage it. And now I call quits. This is not my circus and they certainly ain’t my monkeys. My kids deserve better, I deserve better hell even my dog deserves better.

So addict, I’m sorry but here is where I get off. Thanks for the joy ride, it was eye opening, scary as hell and a life lesson. Always aim higher in life. Don’t be a host for the addict parasite. You lose money, faith and respect. You start to become a horrible person just to protect yourself and kids. No thanks. I’m good. I want a better life and unfortunately you don’t want to be part of it.

Go rehab and get your help. Those who need it more have no such help. Those like us. Those who prop up the addict, the breadwinner, the 2 parents in one.

The parting line for me to others in the same situation is this….know your worth and quit. Leave. It’s not an way way out, your not giving up you are just preserving yourself. If you don’t choose to take the advice you will see what I mean in due course.

And to those who are the addict. I hope you see the damage here and use it to get clean, you will end up destroying real life actual people who have others that depend on them. Those dependants that you can’t actually look after while your sole purpose is drugs. Take yourself and your drugs and kindly leave the person you are destroying. They don’t deserve your lies and deceit or your financial plughole. That my friend is your own responsibility. Your can to carry nor theirs. Inflict your asshole actions on yourself.’
