Is it best to leave my drug addicted partner?

[Anonymous]

I have two beautiful children and there dads addictions have become out of control, my children are 12 & 10. He has robbed the two family members that matter most to me, and one of those being my dad of which he denies some of it but will
Always blame his addictions for stealing of my family and our children. He can be mentally abusive and went to a rehab Centre which he was meant to stay for six weeks but got asked to leave after maybe five days for smoking cannabis. He’s manipulated me so much over the years to believe it’s my fault for not “giving him enough affection” when I was supportive and tried to help him for our children’s sake (pretty much destroying myself in the process) in the last year he has thrown me out of the house with our children around at least five time because of his addictions and me either not being happy about it or not believing his lies. I am awaiting getting a house alone for me and our children. Anyone’s input on this and is this abuse would any of you be able to fix this or just leave?

I didn’t need to read that but I did. I don’t think anyone on here will convince you to leave him. The obvs answer is yes leave him right now, but the fact you put this up here indicates you want to leave him but won’t. You will keep suffering by his hand until you reach a breaking point or one of you is gone. There’s no point in trying to convince you to leave him. You don’t really care what we have to say. All I wonder is how much more suffering will you take before you take a leap into the unknown or will you just wilt into eternal torment and pain.

What do you mean haha? I am tired and not getting any younger I’m
Not sure I can trust this man again I cannot understand why he has inflicted so much pain on me and the children. I have also been told
By a friend of his he has cheated and was bragging about it (obviously he denies this aswell)

For the sake of your children... seriously consider breaking up. They don't need a drug-addict for a (step) father. You and they deserve better.

Yes, you are making the best choice to leave. Sounds like the environment was becoming more and more unstable/dangerous and staying with him is not worth the trauma your kids would endure, or having them taken away entirely because of it.

Of course
