Re: Lies, Drugs, Abuse..Love

I'm guessing he isn't the father of your child? If he's not, do you realize that the child's father (unless he's really incompetent) could get full custody of his child if you continue to be involved with this man?

What do you mean you "couldn't get out"? To use a cliche---is someone holding a gun to your head? And why take out a restraining order on him and then still see him? In the end, it doesn't matter whether or not his parents bailed him out, you were still going to see him and put not only your life at risk but your child's, too!

Have you tried calling the Domestic Abuse Hotline? 1-800-799-SAFE --- the person on the other end of the line can help you. If you take the lifeline given to you, you have to do all the hard work that involves. That means cutting him out of your life altogether! Think about your child! Your child comes first!

Have you looked around the web to see if there are any Naranon meetings near you? They're for people who have an addict in their lives. If there are no Naranon meetings nearby, then go to an Al-Anon meeting.

Take one of these steps I mentioned. Either call the Domestic Abuse Hotline or start going to a Naranon or Al-Anon meeting. FYI --- the meetings are free but at the end of each meeting, they pass around the hat for donations. You give what you can whether it is 5 cents or 5 dollars. Tweet
