Can relate to the manipulation they will literally take your last for it as crack is highly addictive, my partner will make me feel guilty if I also say no they will play you like a fiddle for it as they will do anything for it, my partner works and its almost like he doesnt as he never has money he would never talk about finances I originally before I found out throught he was just a scrooge but it isnt its the drug taking it swallow up every penny they have, they don’t realise how hurtful soul destroying it is for us, they will leave you feeling empty its exhausting luckily no children involved for me which is a blessing but its sad that I more than likely will never get the life I dreamt of with him he is still in active addiction but he will tell me he isnt doing it I know full well this isnt the type of drug you can just cold turkey and stop with hes still lying to protect his habit.
