Hi Kim 32
My situation is similar to yours my ex boyfriend is a daily drug user. I was also unaware of his addictions drink, weed coke. The coke is the worst he spends all his money on it but works and is functioning. I also wasn’t aware of his past. He became bankrupt and lost his family too and owes money to dealers.
I’m ashamed of giving him so many chances and can’t speak to my family as I’m so ashamed of letting myself fall in love with this man. I have a teenage daughter who’s struggling with lockdown and has also been affected by the hurt in this relationship. He’s broken dates promises to her and I feel ashamed I’ve exposed her to this toxic addict.. I finished with him AGAIN but he keeps texting and pulling me back!!
I feel torn as I love him but just know I deserve better as does my daughter. Reading the threads have helped me as although we don’t live together I’ve learned how bad it can get!!! I don’t want to give up my home relationship with my daughter and family to someone who doesn’t give back the love and support I give to him. I know we have to be strong and now think of ourselves and kids but it’s sooo hard when you love someone and have no support
