Yep, I am young. but I had an idea of what I was getting into when I first started dating him. He is just like my older brothers twin. They are basically the same person, but it's funny because they don't get along at all. I have lost my good friends due to being wrapped up in this relationship. I tell my mom everything... she knows all about him, and wants me to have the best life. Wants me to marry a great guy who knows what he is doing etc. But at the same time, she knows only I can learn from my mistakes. And she understands what position I am in because my brother is an addict.
Thank you all for your support and encouragment. Some of it is hard to take though. I'm a sensitive girl, but i'm not naive or dumb. I know what an addict is. I have lived with one my whole life. It's a lifestyle that I can't avoid all together, but I know I don't have to be wrapped up in one. Please just be careful with your words. I know a little more about life than what i'm given credit for on here.
