Is addiction really that strong that you'll give up the person you love to be with someone who will use with you?
and give up a whole lot more.
a question on this:
but been through so much.
is that "so much" all related to his addiction problems?
i suggest takin a visit to the friends and family of substance abusers and also the F&F of alcoholics sub forums here. lots of great experience,strength, and hope over there- people that have been in your shoes.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
The 'so much' doesn't have anything to do with his addiction problems. There has been a lot happen with his kids and other family stuff, honestly it's off the scale drama, I can't even tell you about it. It's serious stuff. We were each others' rocks, but every so often, when we'd argue he'd go for days, weeks even with the silent treatment. I was so confused by it all.
