Thanks BT, I know he seems to have got so much help then he throws it in all our faces. He said that he wasn’t gonna use after the last time he was in rehab but he only did Detox do you think he would benefit from the detox and rehab, do you think it’s fear why he will not part take in the 3 month program.

He says he is ashamed but then keeps doing it. I don’t get it.

What the best to help with the mental side of addictions in general. I told him that cognitive behavioural therapy but he then never bothered to look into it. I seem to do all the work am I enabling him or helping him I don’t no anymore. I never given him money for drugs or pills.

No I haven’t got no where to go as couldn’t go my mums as she is ill and no room at all for me and my children. That’s why I have to throw him out, which is been agreed with ss, as a safeguarding measure but that’s it ss have left me to do it as I ensure the safety of the children it’s a joke really where is my support or help.

I just don’t get why I feel like the failure when I am not the one taking the drugs. It confusing. I have always wanted to help but I don’t know if my help is actually enabling him as he may believes he can It all then say sorry and I forgive him. I don’t understand it he says I don’t get it he loves the feeling but can the feeling be worth losing everything.
