Do most heroin addicts relapse again and again?
Hi everyone. I posted on here a couple of years ago after splitting with my partner who had relapsed onto heroin after 10 years. Very recently, I've heard from him again saying he misses me, he's better and he wants us to give it another go. When I met him, he was very together with his life and he was also lovely with my children. I do miss him. But the last 6 months before I had to leave him were absolute hell for me and it was like there was a massive wall between me and him and there was just no way for me to reach him.
I did always feel that when he got clean again, he would miss me and get in contact with me again because we were very much in love before this happened. But everything I read about heroin addicts makes me think that maybe I'll be back at square one with him again some point in the future. One of my children in particular really misses him and often tells me she still loves him.
Would I be mad to give him another chance?
