He got out and went right to his old neighborhood...
 
As I thought, my exabf was released from prison yesterday. Of course he called wanting to come see me. I held my position and told him he couldn't come over. After asking him a few questions, I found out he was right back in his old neighborhood with his drug using and selling family members. He tried to tell me he only went there because I wouldn't let him live with me and he had no where else to go which is untrue. All I said to him was what was he doing about getting help for himself. Of course I got vague answers. Oh well, he chose his path just like I chose mine. I'm so glad I found this site and was able to get the strength to not be drawn into his manipulation and sad stories!

They amaze me, you know that you have nothing to do with him using again, they all deflect. I read somewhere like 65% who are drug addicts and released from prison, end up going right back there...I have no clue whether that % is right or not.

Good for you, stay strong!
