I posted on the other part too. But I just wanted to piste re as well.
My daughters dad is 37 I'm 24, Hes struggled with substance misuse for years. His biggest problem is heroin.
We were together for almost 3 years, we have a 2 year old daughter, and currently we aren't together. Haven't been for a year because he started using again really hard and I needed to keep our daughter safe. But we still love each other and hope that once he's stable we can be a family again.
He has been so well this last month. After getting clean in prison. And asking to be taken off his methadone while inside. He came out and had 2 slip up in the first 2 weeks, and now a month in he comes to me asking for money. Saying he's not feeling well. It's stuck in his head and he just wants to use one more time to straighten himself and feel better and that'll be it.
I ttied having a convo with him, asking why he felt that way. It just got him angry, ended up arguing over it. He said he's been told countless times by addicts and drug workers that he's going to slip at times and it happens to everyone. Which is the excuse he uses. But when is enough enough? I don't want to do this for the next 10 years.
Anyone can give me some advice? Or been where I am. Please
Someone I know had a child with someone who became an addict. their child is 12 years old.t he dad has been in and out of prison for 10 years, probably 10 different occasions. some a few months, some a few years. everytime he breaks probation. users or commits another crime. the mom tried to have a life without him for a few years. then because of the daughter , tried to live with him for a few times, it did not work. he is not able to stay clean.
do not give money. do not live with him. live life for your and your daughter.
