When trying to work out the motives and reasoning of addicts it really is looking for logic where there is none to find. Freedom comes with acceptance. Here the acceptance might just need to be that he is bad news, and opening yourself and your home up to him really wasn't the best thing for you or your daughter. You don't really need any more information than that about him.
Okay. So, he cannot give up heroin despite it being really bad for him and affecting his life badly. He is addicted to it.
Some people get addicted to relationships, and cannot give them up easily despite them being really bad for them.
It might be worth thinking which of these is YOUR problem to work on.
CoDa or AlAnon are both places that would be able to support YOU in YOUR recovery.
