I told my partner's daughter that her dad was a cocaine addict. It turns out she already knew...

I was hoping this make him get help but now he is absolutely fuming with me for contacting her. I didn't do it out of mallis but I feel this was a huge error of judgement.

I won't contact her again and I have probably ruined our relationship because he was actually great. He takes it for anxiety not that that is an excuse.

He's ruined it and he's not available for a relationship.
His primary relationship is with drugs.

You can't change him or have any control except to leave.

Go check out sober recovery forum and look at the friends and family page.
Full of wise people who were you and didn't leave and now ruined their lives.

Get out and be free

I was an addict and a twat for 7 years 👋
But Eight years of no drink and drugs.

and omg just because someone doesn't live with you it doesn't mean your kids aren't effected.

You must be affected enough to contact her and if you're affected then by default your kids are.

Also anxiety please don't be silly here op

Addicts dont get help for other people's benefit

You had no business involving his Dd who is a minor, and whether he is addicted to a controlled substance or not he has every right to be angry. Have you acknowledged that to him?

What do you want to happen now?

How comfortable do you feel being in a relationship with someone who is dependent on cocaine for his mental health?

Has he said he is ending the relationship?

Dies he understand your need for him to get help?
