it took me 5 years to realize what jon is saying. i have left my boyfriend and i now realize that he never did love me.... i was just being used. i know it wasn't completely intentional, he did care about me. he never meant to intentionally hurt me, which he did, for 5 years! i feel like a fool now, looking back and realizing the exact words that Jon wrote here. i'm still trying to get MY life back, and make a good life for myself and my daughter (the #1 reason i left him).
anyways... thank you Jon! I wish every woman and man who are spouses, friends or family of a drug addict read this.
