I don't know how to summarize the past 5 years of my life but I will try. I live with my fianc and have a 2 year old little girl with him. He works and is usually a good dad but he likes to snort coke. I didn't know this until I was already living with him and it progressively got worse and worse. He gets extremely paranoid and sometimes is awake a whole day doing it. I don't want my child to see him this way anymore. He can't talk and just spends all night walking around the house looking out the window, smoking cigarettes and constantly opens and closes doors to check rooms for I have no idea what. It's very stressful. I can't sleep and I get very enraged and say things to him out of anger. He has repeatedly told me he's "done w the drug" and doesn't want to keep doing it but at least once a week he does it. I'm at my breaking point which I feel I should have reached years ago. I'm a nursing student so he is the sole provider in my household. I feel trapped. When I try to talk to him after he's slept it off for about an entire day he is very angry and hostile and it's almost like I'm the one who did something wrong. So I feel like if I say something I'm doomed and if I don't I'm just letting it slide. Either way it's the same outcome he will just do it again. I need some advice or tips on what I can do. Thanks

Sorry it took so long to get a response. You should of posted in Family/Partners of addicts. You need to be stern and tell him you do not want your daughter around that. But you really have to mean it. Its hard for you because Im sure he thinks he dont have a problem. Remember, action speaks louder than words. Mean what you say. You and your child do not deserve this behavior. Is he the father?
Thanks Joseph
