as an addict I can say this disease is very selfish, you're right hes only thinking about the drugs right now. He can't get clean until he wnts to for himself and it doesn't sound like he's there yet. You don't have to put up with it or put your kids through it though. I know you care, he's the father of your kids, but you gotta do what's best for you and it doesn't sound like that's having him around

GMCP yepp ihad the same affect when i used 2 smoke crack, i used to go as far as use twezzers that you use for your eyebrows, just so that i could dig deep into my skin, i was sure there were things under there, It was only later i found out that it was side affect of useing the crack. It's crazy sh*t eh hun, Glad your clean now, how long has it been 4 the herion as well ??
Anyway fatwez, You need 2 get the hell outta the situation your in with him, this might be tough to hear & i'm sorry for what i say i don't mean 2 hurt you, i just think that you need 2 hear the full on truth & this is from a ex addict, but i was a user for the best part of my life.
No matter how much you love this guy he no good for you & defo no good for your health & the babys health, like you said he aint even felt your baby kick yet. If he is dealing from your house & smoking it in the house he has NO RESPECT 4  YOU. Hez risking the 5.0 busting your door of, you could go to jail 2 if your in the house @ the tike as it's your dwelling aswell. I got 18 months for the same thing, ( but i was a user ). It's not like hes doing it to bring you & the baby money into the house, like you said it feeds his habit.
I no your scared of bringing this baby up as a single parent ( you'v not said so but any woman would be ) but thats all your gona end up been. But instead of just it been you & your baby, you will have the added strss of worrying about him & were he is, what hes up 2 ect ect & then the stress of the police. I  have a feeling you don't wat that life for yourself never mind your unborn child.Who if you have the courage 2 leave him he might rtealise what he has 2 lose |& sort himself out ???  & if he dosn't then you no you did do the right thing coz he'll be 100% proving that he don't give a toss. & like you said you dont think you love him anymore, your probably that used to living the life he has put you in, You have the whole world @ your feet hunny & you can do so much better. He'll never make you happy, i no what i'm taking baout use herion addicts are also the best liers in the world, so will you ever be able to belive what he tells you ???
just abit of food for though for you i'm worried about you & your baby. Is he worth losin your baby to the socail servies for as that may what it all boils down 2. I hope have have not been out of order, i have your best interests @ heart, you sound like a nice woman that needs so much more from life, yet he's stopping you from having that life, Let me no what happenes ect all the best
Peace out Nat xxxx

I hope you have the ability to support your family without him, but even if you don't, its still not worth jeapordizing the health and safety of your children. I used to shoot OCs and Heroin for 8 years and I haven't gotten high in 6 months (I'm 22 now) When I got out of rehab I started using again.. then I met a girl. She motivated me to get clean and like you, she was understanding. But she eventually stood her ground, I was taking suboxone to get off the heroin and she wanted me to stop. Well six months later when I hadn't completely stopped yet, she had to kick me out. This was recently, and I'm doing everything I can to get her back. I always treated her well and worshiped the ground she walked on, but since I was still taking suboxone and trying to get clean rather than actually being clean, she had to cut me out. She'll give me a chance if I can get my 30 days though, and I am dopesick as hell as I write this letter. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I feel a guy deserves a chance if hes willing to work for it, but if he could care less and would rather just get high, he's not worth your time. I wish you the best of luck

i too think you deserve a better life, along with your children, it must be very lonely and hard for you, perhaps you have friends or family who can help you? if he doesnt want to stop, you dont want live the rest of your life like ths, take care and god bless.

hi, dose he have those spots n e where else on his body? i smoked heroin for years and it never left any traces on my body until i started smoking crack with it, as soon as i started the 2 together id get these hives everywhere, and after smoking all that down you gotta smoke after a few hits of crack it makes you very itchy so you scratch and scratch the hives and the look like bites for sure! i bet you thats what this is 100 percent! if your pregnant and have a kid he should stop! my kids daddy stopped the day we found out i was pregnant! and i think its hard but get him on the methadone program if he cant do it him self, there is a way to get outa that good luck.

hi, i really do feel for you, my brother was a heroin addict, and its heart breaking. its really not good for your little girl to have him around, i know that sounds hard but its true, also you really dont need this while your pregnant, he has to really want to stop to get off it, and he obviously doesnt . all he cares about at the moment is the drug, nothing else, its sad but true, when you say "why is this happening to me",  its because your letting it, by staying with him, you really need to take care of yourself, and your little one, my thoughts and prayers are with you, god bless.

hi natalie thanks for your reply ... i dont he is injecting cause hes behaviour is still alert ..
i dont think i love him anymore i just care about him alot because its sad what he is doing to him self.. he is a drug dealer aswel and this surports hes habbit .he smokes in front of me and i think he is a big user since he has came back home he will be smoking for 2hours straight spot after spot. then he stops for like 2hours then he users again has a little bit puts him to sleep then he wakes up first thing hes smoking again.. hes been back at home for like a week now and three times he has sleept at home the rest he doesnt come home at all. i dont say anything to him cause i dont want to push him away as when i kicked him out last he came back worse then ever. saturday night he usued ice ... and last night he was up smoking herion and snorting ice i think he is going to overdose himself one day... i just dont understand why he is doing this to himself.

Hi hun, well i'am a ex herion user & if he smokes it then no there is no way that those marks are just from usuin the drug. I'm not saying that he is injecting, But heres abit of what i'v heard of the streets @ the mo. The Heroin in the u.k has gone really bad, In the purity way, meaning that if you smoke it you will not get the hit you are used to. Look at it like this if your used to smoking it & it gets you high & then all of a sudden it go's crap & when you smoke it you dfon't get the high & your a addict you ( may ) trty to have a hit ( inject ) i have only injected once in the 18 years i'v been a user but it do's sound like track marks. Saying that without seeing the marks i'm not in a possition to say yes he is. But how is he when he has had some herion ??? Is he more out of it than normal ??? Or do you not see him when he use's. My heart go's out 2 you, you must really love him to take him bk, I have a idea of what he has put you through, just by what addicts do. Is that the only drug he is useing ?? do u no if he is useing crack ??
Anyway from my post please don't take it that he is injecting, i'm just telling you from my experiances what i think, All the best hun & if you ever want to chat just PM me, your not on your own in this, there are so many other partners of a relasionship that don't use drugs & have to see the person they love using.
Peace Nat xxx
