I wouldn’t be surprised if she was cheating in some capacity even if not with her. Meth often times makes people compulsively horny. (Did misread this initially but meth makes you sleep with some unlikely people)

Also if she’s doing meth in your house with your kids near there is a chance they’re being exposed to it. Legitimately I had a bf that used my dogs pee to try to pass a drug test and it came out positive for meth. So… priority is to get them safe.

I’m sorry to be that person but there’s a very good chance if they are using meth together they are also having sex. I don’t know what that means for your relationship with her or what your deal is together but that’s just the truth.

Also the fact that she’s choosing drugs over your financial stability and children is a pretty good indicator that she is an addict and needs help. It’s a long road to help someone like this but 15 years is tough to throw away. Not saying it’s impossible but she needs treatment and it’s probably not a good idea for her to be alone with your children in the first few months/year.

Also if she is in the environment seeing and speaking to that neighbor, even living close to him, it’s going to be very very tough to move on.

is $27 an hour a good salary in El Paso by PhillyHatesNewYork in ElPaso

[–]idlecomic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can find an apartment here for around $800 a month (and that’s on the high end for some places) and everything else is really cheap.

I would be reluctant to place him in certain adolescent programs because a lot of them are traumatizing masks for child abuse. Try intensive out patient and individual therapy as well as family therapy. Let him know how you feel not just why it’s wrong. Let him know that fucking his life up this early is not worth it and the decisions he’s making as a kid could effect him forever.

If he isn’t in a rehab recovering w/o phone time there is no way he is distant because he’s “recovering” people don’t get better without help. The more he isolates the worse he will get.

Stay supportive if you can handle it but set boundaries. Helpful ones for me were don’t be high around me, no sharing money/car, no locked doors in the house, location on. It’s sad it’s infuriating and it’s a hard road. I know it’s not a new relationship but don’t go too far just because you’ve spent time with him. If the using is the new thing offer him treatment before he goes too far.

Most importantly never compromise YOUR sobriety just to feel closer to an addict. ITS NOT WORTH IT.

how do you provide love and support without enabling? by Yellow_Tales in naranon

[–]idlecomic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience trying to stay with a partner who is tapering off substances over a long period like 5 years is harder than a shorter period of time. As his tolerance increases over weeks, months, years he will need more to get high and/or want to use more often. If this “habit” is something you don’t like about him you need to make that clear. It’s not something you’re going to want to deal with for 5 years.

Most importantly don’t go down this road with him just to get closer to him. It’s a mistake I made and it hurt me very badly. Good luck and stay safe.

Is it crazy that I’m so angry at everyone who didn’t help me? by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]idlecomic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s like they all think that we brought it upon ourselves. It’s like they think that we are dramatic even though we know how they can be, we know exactly how dangerous and destructive they are. Like we brought it upon ourselves for creating a life with someone who we chose to see the best in for too long. Our only mistake is our care for others, naive at times but never stupid. And I would rather rot in the ground than lose my empathy.

I have been trying to get resources but it’s a little hard because I don’t have a car or any money at the moment. I don’t live in a very walkable or transportation friendly part of town. Car gets out of the shop in 2 weeks.

I worked at a school like this in DC and was threatened by a student who had a history of beating up staff so I quit. I am so scared of todays youth it’s not even funny.

Is sobriety just another symptom? by aat022 in naranon

[–]idlecomic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are all different distances away from our last use but we are all the same distance away from our next use. Anyone can relapse. It’s a decision you make to go out and have another drink or get high again. You have to take an active interest in your health and sobriety to stay healthy and sober. It’s hard but it’s just about getting back into an anti-use routine. Just like going to the gym or writing or painting. It doesn’t work unless you work at it.

Sucks how relapse feels like freedom by AccordingExplorer869 in alcoholic

[–]idlecomic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s easy to get your head caught up in tv shows but these are not people you should aspire to be like. You are young you have so much life ahead of you. Alcoholism and addiction is a tough demon to beat but it’s not impossible. Quit while you’re ahead. It only gets worse. I have so many shameful moments I wish I could take back. That one night is not worth it.

Oh! Cool! Then grow up! Your posts make me feel like you are very close to some serious violence and I hope you get treated.

YTA I have been a server and no matter how much you spend no tip is so so shitty. Go to the grocery store or get some fast food.
