Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I have been with my boyfriend for 3.5 years, we have a one year old son together . I have caught him talking to his ex 3.5 years ago when we first got back together then a ye at later texting some random girl . We broke up for a few weeks and worked thru it. a year ago I had.caught him lying about doing coke which he until that point denief everdoing it. Now he is the type that wont come clean unlesa caight red handed. Recently he has been getting violent with me oit of no where he starys arguments at times over nothing some days he will tell me hes guna treat me better and others I feel he doesnt want to be around me. Every 3 months he will break up with me for a week nd go out to party with a certain friend who also uses coke. He tells me all the time he loves me but then other times his actions make me feel dif. I notice him staying up late and his ocd seems to get worse also at times. Everytime I ask him a ? Nd he feels I accuse him of something even when im not he is totally defensice and asks why I dnt trust him. I need help I cant keep feeling rhis way

If you don't want to feel thus way anymore then gather up all of your strength and leave. The fact that he will not admit to things unless caught redhanded is enough right there.

 

I know it is super-hard to leave someone so heavily on the defensive and blaming you. It isn't you. Want the proof? You wouldn't treat him like that if he was treating you the way you treat him.

 

Run for the hills.

You really want to stay with someone who's emotionally and verbally abusive and uses cocaine? Even if it's not done in front of your son? Doesn't sound like a good plan to me. If you were married to the guy, I'd say you should get help for your husband and work through this, but you're not married to him, so I don't see the point in putting up with this.

I would be terrified of Child Services finding out about him and coming in and taking my child. Coke users don't always tend to be careful about leaving stuff around either. The consequences could be deadly. And he will get much, much worse before he gets better. Been there.

Here's my advice-Talk to him and tell him how you feel. But, choose the time when he is feeling good or he is sober. Use kind words when asking. Maybe, he can also tell you about his addiction if you talk about it while not fighting.

You can't have your children taken away just because you use illegal drugs or someone in your home uses illegal drugs. That's not intrinsically abusive or neglectful.

 

I am not speculating with that one. I am speaking from professional experience working closely with Child Welfare. The requirements for intervention are quite high and taking away your children is not a first-line intervention in cases like this.

Coke users don't always tend to be careful about leaving stuff around either.

A case for neglect could be made if there's a pattern of illegal drugs being left around unsupervised children. It doesn't sound like that's the case here, where someone's secretly using cocaine with a friend elsewhere.

 

As far as the OP is concerned, it really doesn't matter whether your partner loves you or not. This is not a relationship worth saving. Your son will be fine without this person in your life! In time, you will be fine also--better even.
