My partner has recently relapsed on heroin but this last week he's stayed in without creeping about and kept himself busy . So today we had a fight and i went to sit in my car on the drive to think , my partner then comes out the door gets our sons bike and rides off on it this was at 1pm today and its now 9:30pm he's been gone 8.5 hours I'm now starting to worry should i go out and look for him ?
emz,
The title of your post made me very sad, and brought back many memories of searching for my son, when he first started on this path. I feel for you, and wanted to offer a big hug.
When he was in treatment, we discussed how I would search and search, knock on doors, talk to other mothers, etc. etc. My son told me point blank when he was in treatment, "You were wasting your time". Truly, it does no good, but make us miserable and stressed and wastes our time and energy. Believe me, I know this is easier sad than done, but try to get your mind off of it, as best you can. We are powerless over the addiction and the addict.
Thinking of you tonight.

I decided not to go looking for him i went to bed and tossed and turned all night . I got up this morning and opened my bedroom curtains and there he was sitting in the garden i didn't make eye contact with him i continued to go about my business, when he seen that i was up he called for my attention, he told me he decided to stay away last night because of our fight during the day he wanted things to calm down . He wasn't high and he also didn't look like he was coming down off anything . I really do hate the stress that addicts cause us!
Parenting thank you for your understanding and well wishes
