Hi Sunflower,
I’m new to the forum and I can sympathise with every single one of you. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through a bad time with your partner.
It’s so frustrating when they relapse, you just think that everything is going to be fine and then it’s back to the old ways again. We have the same problem with my adult son. I agree about the lies and promises they spin. They probably mean it at the time, but you know in your heart that you’re not really convinced.
Its a horrible illness that they have, and it affects everyone around them. Makes them selfish and insensitive, but the only person they can blame is themselves. It starts and ends with them. I hope he can get help through going to meetings and getting support from sponsors. It can work for some people, at least they have a network of support. But, they have to want that support. I wish you well and hope you and your daughter get the peace and love that you deserve. Be strong. Lx
