Search Results: addicted parents

We’ve been together for eight years and there is still a lot of chemistry and things to talk about. With that being, his parents are snobs so he has basically told me he is willing to do a private marriage but a normal marriage isn’t possible. I could never be a part of his family. He also hates my family because he feels like they take advantage of me etc so other issues too. Ultimately, we realized we have to part ways but for some reason he still gets jealous if I talk to anyone else and even when we try to stop messaging or seeing each other we only last a few days, most a week, before we somehow get sucked back in. No matter how hard I try to cut out, I get sucked back in when he messages and vice versa. He claims he doesn’t love me etc and just wants to “use” me but then anytime I am hurting or family stuff comes up he gets involved immediatly and he gets upset if I prioritize family over time with him. Is this considered a form of addiction and anyone else experience it before?

I have a very dysfunctional family, both my sisters got addicted to drugs, one still is, the oldest one has gotten better but she still got her moments. My other older sister is heavily addicted to meth and she smokes weed, my parents do nothing about it.

There are really bad quarrels happening everyday here and so I wonder, would you guys, as the boyfriend with a girl in my or similar situation, interfere in such situations? The verbal attacks are one of the worst that you can hear, extremely mean and cruel. Physical stuff happens as well, even from my father because he is weak to do something about her so he attacks me physically.

She's my sister only in name unfortunately. I truly cannot stand her.

I had to go anon this time. It's shameful.

Years ago in Canada - Ontario - a politician Mike Harris wanted to make it mandatory that people on welfare be tested for illegal drug use. Receive treatment for addiction & alcoholism. Receive trades and educational training.

Essentially he wanted to get them off of welfare which was designed as a TEMPORARY assistance NOT to live on or live off of --- as many people will do, having families or even generations (grandparents, parents, kids) on welfare.

He was laughed at for infringing on these people's "rights".

However, personally, this excuse is questionable as statistically addicts, alcholics, people on welfare are prone to criminal activity, etc. and so their continued unnecessary useage of welfare and in their addicted situations are infringing on the rights of society as a whole.
