+1. I would be too worried that he'd find something else to be addicted to, which can be a problem even if it's not drugs or alcohol (i.e., food, sex). |
| If we were like 80 and met in a nursing home, sure. In our thirties, nah. |

| I bet you all are not nearly so judgmental when little larlo or larla is declared an undateable leper for having suffered from, battled and over come the disease of addiction. No grandkids for you since you raised pariahs! |
Oh, it's the " I hope you never..." poster in disguise! |
| Whether they are an addict or alcoholic there is always a risk of relapse. As someone that has lived on the other side after 10 years sober they relapsed. But, that didn't shock since the attitude during that 10 years was that it was situational so I expected they would try again. Took a long time for them to admit and get sober again. |
No. Just someone who is disgusted by you. What will you tell your friends? "No. Larla isn't dating anyone. She's undateable! Cocaine habit ten years ago . . ." |
Here's the thing - my children aren't addicts, I don't associate with addicts and I tolerate drug use in my relationships. If you do and you sat by while yours spiraled, I feel bad for you. |

Shrews like you create more addicts than Johnny Dopedealer. Your kids are primed for addiction. Thanks, Shrewy Mom! |
You can say that again. |
And you sound like an addict. Get some help. |
There is a pretty big difference between the parent/child relationship and the person/not-yet-significant-other relationship. |
I think you are projecting. You are disgusted with yourself. Are you a current or former cokehead? If my (future) children were to dabble in drugs, I'd sure as fu@& notice something was up long before cocaine could be an issue. |

Here's the other thing, you can date someone who is A+ all around and then one day you're dating an addict. I posted earlier that I dated someone who was hooked on fentanyl at one point in his life. That point wasn't until he was in his early 40's, after a terrible car accident that broke multiple bones in his back. Until that point in life, he never had any issues, social drinker, responsible dad, held down a demanding and great job.
So, I guess all of you with your perfect lives and perfect choices will just head on out the door when it happens to your loved ones. |
