I'm the spouse of a recovering addict. He doesn't want to acknowledge or validate my feelings when he engages in behavior that sends me in tailspin back to the horrible days. I think he's abusing adderrall now but since he has a prescription he tells me I'm crazy despite the fact he was caught getting some for a friend from someone else. I don't know. I feel so stupid.
Sounds like your “recovering” addict hit the addict lottery – a prescription for speed! He’s abusing it, that’s why he needs more “for a friend”. Trust your instincts he’s no longer a recovering addict he’s very active again.
And you will never get an active addict to acknowledge or validate your feelings with any honesty, stop wasting your time on that one.
