      My bf is an addict and has had 5 relapses since he has been with me,I now feel like it is my fault as he keeps saying I haven’t done enough to help him stay sober. Etc meditation and other things with him.

      He has recently moved out and is staying in different places every few days and I feel terrible but I just get constant emotional abuse and I am emotionally exhausted by it. I love him and I want him to get better but I just don’t know what to do anymore. He does admit it is 95 percent his fault but he wants me to accept that the rest is my fault and I just don’t know how to admit that.

      Hello Gem12345,

      I can relate. I’ve been with my partner nearly 4 years, and he is an alcoholic. We have been through a great 8 months of him being sober, but unfortunately he is back to drinking again. One of the many things I have learned, is that addicts can be extremely manipulative. You have to rise above it. It’s not your fault. He is a grown man, who makes his own decisions. You are not responsible for his recovery. He is the only person who can do it, for himself. Trust me, let it go. It’s on him, not you.
