I've dealt with the weed, to crack, and now to meth and I'm tired. I've played all roles of the enabler and have even taken the suggestion of the correct reaction. I cannot seem to win and live my life. I love my partner and would like to have a happy and drug-free relationship, but what do you do to calm the paranoid mind of a meth-head.
Doing nothing and reacting as you normally do, seems to be just as damaging. Anything can set it off; a call from a person he doesn't like and assumes I have slept with that person but haven't, having to lay around in bed all day but don't want to, do what I normally do but I am blamed for not caring and being unemotional about the relationship . . . it seems to go on and on.
I am embarrassed that my friends think he is crazy and he is, it's the meth.
HELP! It's time for some professional help for me. Is there any suggestions to help the relationship survive until he has successfully stop doing the drugs. (I know the obvious thing is to just leave the relationship and him alone . . . but is there any tried and true way to not let the drugs or the addiction win.
Come and visit the friends and loved ones part of this board. Many of us have been where you are and many still are going exactly what you are going through right now. Not only will you find information from people living through this but you will find comfort and compassion which I know is sometimes a little hard to come by.
I am sorry you have come here but hope that you will find some of the help you need.
