I'm sure HE could never. But you're no longer dealing with him, you're dealing with the addict inside him. You need to remember that. You and your child are in danger. Things are progressing rapidly and you don't want to stick around for what's next.

Addicts RARELY get better while in a relationship. You have nothing to lose by separating. If he is worth your love, he will shape up and reenter your life clean and sober. If he doesn't, then he wasn't.

Forget about holding his hand through this, putting him through rehab, driving him to meetings. Take a quick read through some of the other posts on here and you'll see that does not work. (And sending him to rehab is almost guaranteed to end in him finding a rehab romance, leaving you heartbroken and wondering how he could do this to you. Hint: it's what addicts do!)

When you look at what he's doing from the lense of an addict, you see none of this behavior is surprising or unique. He is no longer himself. He may seem like himself at times, but that's just the addict using what he knows works on you.

Do what you have to do to keep your daughter and yourself safe. Let him make this right if he so chooses. There's nothing else you can do.

Wishing you peace, happiness, and strength.
