Hi, rosie cheeks, Im the wife of a crack and heroin addict and sympathise with your situation, I wish I could tell you it gets better but it doesnt, the only way is out and I know thats not easy because Im still here. We’ve been together fourteen years and he was clean when I met him, I was 19, five children and several house moves later and Im stil dealing with the same stuff I was dealing with back then. Why do I stay? Well, the kids love him, he loves them and he has nothing or nobody because thats what addiction does to you even when its not you taking the drugs. Its lonely and selfish and grdy and dangerous. I hope your situation improves and that your boyfriend realises what hes likely to lose but dont hang around too long hoping this is going to happen because it is very unlikely and you’ll look back as Im doing and feel so sad at all the lost years. This is not your fault and never was. My Dad one told me you’ll never bring someone up to your standard they will only bring you down and its the truest thing Ive ever been told. With love rosie cheeks n if you ever need to talk to someone who understands just drop me a line x
