Not for Facebook please!!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything more heartbreaking than my boyfriend crying because he thinks he’s not good enough for me. He’s convinced he can’t give me everything I need, because he’s an addict and reckons he lets down anyone he loves and they leave him.
He doesn’t understand he’s not just an addict…he’s a traumatised person using substances to medicate his pain and that I love every single bit of him, the good, bad and ugly.
Unlike other women, I’m not leaving him. I don’t believe relationships are disposable.
I know it’s hard when you’re fiending for drugs, coming down and feeling less than loveable. Add in not seeing his kids and Father’s Day coming up and no wonder he feels like he’s not worth it.
He is. Beyond all measure.
This lad needs to know there are good women in this world and he has the best.
I know he’s damaged but he’s still beautiful.
He told me I’m better off without him and his bs, so I went over and held him all night.
I think he’s depressed. Thoughts??

I think he needs rehab and years of counselling. Also, addicts typically don't improve without hitting rock bottom and you sound like you're trying to cushion that which could be enabling him. If you really want to help, you should seek professional help for your role too. That way, you'll know when to give hard truths and when to be softer.
Just be aware that those comments may be his way of trying to say that he can't be in a relationship when he can't look after himself. If he's trying to break up because it's what he needs, will you let him?
