Hi, I’m an addict in recovery. I have come across this site looking for some support for my personal problems.
I have qualifications in mental health and substance misuse. Cocaine is mentally addictive and its likely that your partner is using because of problems or trauma experienced in the past. Consciously or sub-consciously.
As an addict who is clean now, I can say from my experience that he most likely does not understand the impact of whst he is doing. He may acknowledge them to you but he actually just wants to placate you and until he recognises and understands that he could use some professional help, he most likely will not change.
When I was doing cocaine, I genuinely could not understand why everyone had such a problem with whst I was doing and eventually I isolated myself for my habbit.
Seek professional help, encourage him with support and try to make him realise what he is doing to his child as social services would deem it neglectful and would advise that he stays away from you both.
Good luck xx
