As someone who has been in a relationship with a drug abuser(painkillers in his case), I know what your feeling. He's like completely sweet one moment and the next, he just blows you off. He can't keep a job for the life of him and he really is irresponsible.


He says he will change, but he keeps going back to his old ways. You keep giving him a chance hoping he will change, but that never seems to happen.

Gosh girlie, I know its hard especially when there are feelings involved.

But, you do deserve better!

When I asked for advice on here on what to do, people told me the same thing.

I talk to him occasionally on the phone. We are still friends. He lives far away now with his grandma as well(Kinda good, less tempting that way). He seemed to be doing well, but he let me know that he slipped again a few weeks ago when he had a tooth pulled and they gave him painkillers. He took them all (50 of them!) in 5 days! I don't know why he admitted this to me, but it makes me realize that even after 10 months of being clean, he still has a major problem! This may never change..

So, be careful. You have yourself to look after and also your daughter...
