"Normal" behavior?
hello everyone! i am new here and i am not an addict myself but my daughters father and the man that i love is addicted to crack cocaine. i never knew anything about crack before i met him. i never knew how evil it is and how it can destroy like it does. my question is this...when an addict is craving the drug is it normal to be mean and hateful to those they love and care about? he says some of the meanest things to me. i love this man. he has stoln from me, has lied i cant even tell you how many times and has been verbally abusive. i am hoping that he will get help soon but in the meantime i need to take care of me and i need to see if this behavior is normal for a crack addict. i have trid everything other than kicking his ass. but why is he soooo mean? i have loved him thrugh all of this and have been called a bitch and he threatens to leave every time we argue. he sait would be better for me and our daughter. i dont know what to do. sorry i know im all over the place here.
