Partners of addicts thread

[Sweeties1989]

Hello i am currently struggling so much with my partner. Aware hes smoking crack..he has denied it all along. He doesnt do it everyday because he can spend 2 days with me at my house and theres no drug use. Hes never obviously high.

Hes at me for money constantly and his lies are getting unbearable. Hes had so much strange stuff going on since feb.

I thought it would be nice to make a thread for others to talk too

Why is he still your partner, OP?

Do you have children?

Hi OP, for me its not a partner, but a sibling who also uses crack. Its a horrible, horrible drug. He's using very heavily and is unpredictable, aggressive (at times) deceitful and has taken over his life. He's putting our family through hell. How are you coping? In my experience its a drug that very quickly takes over and progresses very rapidly, making the user do anything to keep using. Do you have support?

My partner of 14 years is an addict hes also my childrens dad first it was heroin now its crack aswell and weed its killing me slowly ive managed to protect my children from the truth up untill a year ago when my 16 yo son asked me i couldnt lie to him its so hard to cope ive been diagnosed with heart failure 6 year ago im 41 yo now but i feel like im l drowning most of the time
