howdy I myself don't have a problem with addiction I just came here to find some people who could give me advice about my ex and her pain pill addiction I just don't think I'll ever understand why somebody would choose drugs over their child it's a long long story its been going on for over 9 years now.I've taken custody of our son although she was court ordered to drug and alcohol rehabilitation she refuses to go.begging and pleading with her to just understand how bad her life is getting being addicted to her medication.I don't know what to do she has supervised visits with the child only gets to see him once a week and that's still not enoughfor her to see how about her problem is.sad part is I still have love in my heart for her even though she moved out left me my son and her older son to hook up with another drug addict and alcoholic.I'm just lost as to how to go about could you show her where her life ended up she refuses to see I know I can't force someone to get better .but at the same time I cannot let my son be around her in the condition she's in.and I'm constantly being blamed for how everything is my fault how I'm keeping him away from her and so on and so forth and it's really starting to get to me I know in my heart I'm doing what's right for my kid.

I'm sorry for your situation with you and your son. I do hope that you find support for yourself to help you through this.

I am so sorry you are going through this. It has got to be devastating for you & your son. Unfortunately, nothing you do or say can convince her to quit. She has to want to do that for herself. Your ex is powerless to her drug of choice but she chooses not to see that.

Do what you have to do to protect your son. (((hugs))) Have you considered Al-Anon?
