Trading one addiction for another

I sit here tonight so disgusted by what is going on in my sons life.for those of you that don't know our story a quick recap my son is 21 he was addicted to heroin and used many other drugs as well. He is just over one year clean from drugs is doing very well in his drug addiction recovery after 3 rehabs 1 overdose numerous hospitalization s one wrecked car from hitting a tree claims he fell asleep but not really sure thank God he is still here and in one piece oh yea and he was arrested last January which was the catalyst for his recovery so I'm very grateful that he got arrested. I have learned so much from so many on this board but here's my new dilemma. He started dating this girl right before he was arrested last January. To make a long story short she is every bit as evil and destructive as the drugs he used to use. I literally researched sociopaths and of the 21 questions used to determine that trait she is positive on 19 of them. Of course I'm not a doctor but I know what I see and have lived with this past yer and it has been horrendous. For starters she is a master manipulator she is without a doubt a pathological liar. My son sees these traits in her and has broken up with her more times than I can count but she keeps coming back and he keeps giving her another chance. She comes from a terrible background her mother is worse than her a barfly that hops from man to man to have a place to live for the time being. I knew the moment I met her that she was phony she actually drove her daughter to my house the night after he was released from jail so they could see each other. Sorry but red flag if one of my two daughters asked me to do that for a guy they just started darting I would tell them absolutely not stay away from him . Fast forward a few weeks into their relationship my son told me he was going to court with his girlfriend to support her cause she has to testify to the grand jury that one of her lovely mothers many boyfriends molested her when she was eleven years old. I know this sounds terrible but I don't even believe it happened and here's why the D.A. Declined to press charges after hearing her testimony because there were too many holes in their story and on the way home from the court that day her and her mother recorded a video of themselves singing and laughing saying " mother fuc*ers going down" now the mother is under investigation for bank fraud because she apparently opened up all kinds of account in this guys name and charged them up to the hilt. She worked for him and remained working with him after her daughter told her what happened a few years later and she supposedly stayed thereto try to gather evidence against him . Yea ok I'm sorry if a man raped my 11 year old daughter he wouldn't have eyes left in his head and some other missing parts of his body as well. I only hope the police end up charging her for this crime because shes no good!!! Lets get back to her evil offspring and what she's done to my son . In May she started acting a little more crazy and my son and her were fighting a lot she physically assaulted him right in front of me as well as punched a hole in his bedroom wall again right in front of my eyes. She has tryed to jump out of a moving vehicle and my son has stopped her frankly if she wants to I could care a less at this point but I don't want him to getting trouble for it. She has snuck around with other guys and my son found out she was sending scantily clad pictures of herself to this guy the guy felt bad for my son and forwarded him the pictures and messages that went along with them. Numerous times she would pick a fight he would chase her down the street and one of these times she hit him so he threw her pocketbook to the ground and all the stuff inside it was all over the road she was screaming and crying like a looney tune and naturally someone heard it and called cops i tryed to calm the situation and offers to drive her home to diffuse things and the cop pulls up asks what happened and she admits to the cops she hit my son and tells the cop " i know you " the cop looks puzzled and she says yeah you brought me to thehospitalonce she when I used to live at such and such place cause I tried to kill myself by drinking bleach. I could see the light bulb go off over the cops head as she recalled exactly who she was dealing with and the cop looked at me with such pity as if to say oh you poor lady because she remembered it all too well. So I agree to takeherhome which is about forty minutes away as we get closer to her moms boyfriends house she calls her mom to get the boyfriend of the weeks address only for her drunken,mom to say to her whyareyoucoming here ? Now she is homeless and taking drugs and my son has become me trying to stop her I actually feel sorryforhim cause I know the uselessbattlehe is e,barking on . Anyway she drives him crazy at work all day texting him andrguing with him over anything and everything. His coworkers tell him get rid of her she's crazy so I know it's not just me. My sons beatfriend hates her and begs my so. To dump her. My sons counsellor has met her and allowed her to attend a few of his sessions at his request and she tells my son the same exact thing you need to get rid of her she is not going to change. She is so insecure and crazily jealous that she goes through his phone whenever he's in the shower or fella asleep he works crazy long hour at a job he loves and is doing very wellatfinancially and professionally and she went as far as calling my niece my sons first cousin and asks her how do you know Matt ? My niece couldn't believe it she's like uhh he's my cousin.... Oh ok I was just wondering. She has fought with him to demand his cell phone records which is under my husband and mines account ( my son pays his portion) just to check up on him and make sure he's not calling some other girls. A few weeks ago during one of their many break ups she's texting me crying how much she loves him blah blah blah and then says he don't love me any,ore I pushed him too far etching etc then completely switches gears and says I'm on craigs list looking for a car what was the name of the s u v Matt used to have cause I was thinking of getting one I stupidly say you mean his ford explorer? She's like yea that's it he said I wasn't too bad on gas blah blah ok then5 minutes later texts me shes gonna kill herself cause she hacked into his face book account with the password " ford explorer for the security question what was your first car and she sees a conversation with a girl who he has been friends with for years saying I don't know why I keep going back with her I guess I'm lonely I kid you not you can't make this stuff up !!!well straw broke the camels back two nights ago she was thrown outof her dads house again for using drugs andmy son brings her here she lies to my son says it was all a mistake it was old shot she had in her room and forgot about and my son brings her here well my son fell asleep at like930 at 10 I go out on my deck to smoke and I see her through the bathroom window doing drugs off my sink are you Effin kiddin me I stormed right in there and confronted her needless to seeitdidnt end well iput her out will not let her comeback here ever again I despise this girl and all the trouble she has brought to my home my husband and two daughters hate her and rightfully so it's not just the drugs I get it they are sick butitseverything she's calculating as they come evil sneaky gold digging no good bitch I don't know what's wrong with my son that he keeps taking this thing back please pray for me that she takes off and he wakes up I can't deal with anymore of this craziness if she comes here again I am calling the police. I have had enough!!!sorry this is so long I really needed to vent !!!!!! Dee
SOOOOO- (could you give her a hundred bucks and drive her 5 hours away? or buy her a bus ticket to florida?)
Thank God he is still sober with all that insanity.
Maybe he still feels guilty about what he did and doesn't think he deserves any better?
I told my daughter (with a lousy husband, now gone) that God can't put the right person in your life if you are stuck with the wrong one.
damn, dee...I hope one of her other boyfriends steps in and takes over...the peace would be deafening.
it sounds beyond awful..and I do see restraining orders in your future.
Sorry, friend. This one sounds just plain insane.
This woman sounds very much like my nephew's ex-girlfriend. Unfortunately, she told him that she could not get pregnant, but that was a lie. She got pregnant. Now he's tied to her for 18 years. He's so terrified of her that he won't have anything to do with his daughter. So, my brother and his wife got temporary custody when the woman abused the little girl. Now the mother has the daughter back and my brother and his wife are terrified about what will happen.
So, you can't control his relationship. However, please advise him to make 100% certain that she never gets pregnant. The last thing you want is to have a child brought into this and to have Matt tied to her for the next 18 years.
Sadly, this 'old gf' passed away in March of last year of an overdose. She left behind a baby girl. I may not have liked her, but I never wished this on her. Always hoped the baby would give her a reason to change her life.
Now he is with a crazier ass bitch. And this one is a thief of all things. I have not met her face to face, nor do I want to. And have talked to him about her influence on him, they split to Colorado, that lasted all of a month before she stole from his shipmate who allowed them to live with him in his house. SMH...really?
I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts and hope that he comes to his senses! I'm just so thankful he has kept his sobriety through it all, he DOES have inner strength! God love him! And you! ;)
Stay strong!
