Biggest lie/manipulation you wanted to believe from your addict?
I have many so I will go first: I know this is kind of a negative post but I am working on forgiving so I need to get this out of my system.
1. "My drug dealer is going to kill our dog if I don't pay him the money I owe"- Our dog is my best friend, I love her- I helped him get the money from his credit card- my name is not on it... Now I think he just bought more drugs
2. At 3:00 A.M. he wakes me up to tell me- "I have to go to work... I will be back home before you go to work"- he went to his drug dealers house to score more dope.
3. The latest- "I need to pay my drug dealer off before I go to rehab so you will be safe while I am there" I actually rode with him this time.... He bought more drugs, and hid them from me... he didn't owe his dealer anything...
4. Our wedding vows
5. "I didn't pawn those videogames- my friend borrowed them"
6. "I didn't steal your dead grandmothers keep sakes she gave you"
7. "I promise, I will never use drugs again"- stupid I know, but true...
8. while he locked himself in the bathroom doing drugs "My stomach is upset, I am sick"
sooo sooo many more, I don't know if I could remember them all...
Amazing what we belive when we love an addict.
