Almost a month ago we found out because he overdosed and she found him semi concious on the floor. She tried to get him into a program the next day and was unable to. And they were going to get him medical assitance through wellfare. She couldn't let him back in the house so he went to spend the night with a friend. Who by the way was his drug buddy who now is supposedly on Methedone.
Less than 1 hour after being there with him the "plan" changed and he decided to go to where his father was vacationing 2 hours away and do Methedone that his father "just happened" to have. His father was caught soming PCP in March...so I had my doubts about this whole thing. The week he was gone was so calm, I had her and my grand daughter every day for dinner and some girl time I didn't say "I told you so" as I never wanted her to marry him... I was there and supportive. Well he is back in the house but only when she is there. During the day he is with his father...doing "God knows what".. He has not spoken to me even though I have seen him twice at Church on Sunday... Tonight I am supposed to go down to their house, which by the way is the house that I was raised in and that I "gifted" to my daughter before she married him. When I spoke to my daughter I told her that I expected an apology from him for putting me through all of the Drama of that day he overdosed. And I intend to ask him what he is doing about his recovery... Am I being unrealistic. My daughter had all of these things that she had expected and hardly any of them have taken place. He has only been to 3 NA meetings and I don't think that makes a recovery. I don't have any experience with any of this and am at a loss as to what I should expect. I know that my daughter has mixed emotions and I try to be as supportive as I can for her and my grand daughter. Thanks for any insights. Posted on 10/15/09, 02:10 pm |

When i saw your subject on the discussion thread, all I could think about is what my parents have been telling me all along. I have a lot of respect for you for coming on here for support. I definitely know what your daughter is going through, and I have no clue what to do with my life.
I have been engaged (luckily not married) to a heroin addict. I just found out this morning that he had syringes in his backpack and he has been using for three months. I kept wondering what was going on with him (in a way i think i knew). You don't want to accuse someone of something so extreme, I even thought I wanted to call his parents, because i knew something was going on, but i didn't want to make the assumption. I have known him for all my life, since i was 14yrs old, he was using then. He found me after a 7 year gap and he really wanted to do good with his life, we moved out here to denver we are both in school, we were talking about building an earthship house together. I was happy. I thought he loved me... I feel awful and sick to my stomach, you think love has power, until heroin comes along and ruins love. I just realized today that love has NO POWER, i have no power who i love. If i could kill heroin i would, if heroin were a person i would torture it to its death. How can anything ruin love?
