When is the best time to leave a meth addict?My addict used on Tuesday (he denies it) and was high as a kite until Wednesday evening. The come down started that night as he got more and more irritable. By Thursday he blew his whole pay check gambling. His meth psychosis lasted Fri- Sun... We live in the same building but not together (I put him out a year ago). I'm now considering moving because I can't take the verbal and psychological abuse anymore. It's been 5 long years. He can only say that it's all my fault and I deceived him all of this time, led him on. He takes no responsibility for his actions. My question to all: When is the best time to leave an addict? When they're up... or down... or off... or just run like hell and hope for the best. I am afraid that he will make my life hell. Should I move and then end it. Should I do it all at the same time. If I didn't have family close by I would escape to another state and start live all over, in hiding.

Re: When is the best time
to leave a meth addict? Could you please explain what you mean by psychotic episode? I am asking because I am not familiar with your situation. My husband was like a monster out of some nightmare for a few days when he was coming down, but he wasn't psychotic. The psychosis happened later and was a whole different scene. Quote: If you think that he will get violent then
there is no good time. You just need to leave - the sooner the
better. He will eventually come down and get mad about it
anyway. Do you really want to prolong the misery by staying in a
relationship with someone you are scared to break up with? |

Re: When is the best time
to leave a meth addict? Bluerain, I personally don't think it matters a whole lot as to when, how, why or even that we leave the addict if it doesn't bum their high or the money they need to get it. Sad, I know, but think about it....if it mattered to them what or who we were, they wouldn't ever touch the shyt again. And then, there's the issue of .... 1. We didn't cause it 2. We can't control it 3. We can't cure it and if we think we can....we keep getting sicker So, if what I write is the truth to you, then whatever and however you can find peace with in your heart, then that is the right way, right time for you and you are the only one that matters right now to you in the relationship

Re: When is the
best time to leave a meth addict? Let's see how would I describe these episodes... It usually starts with how I say something, he hears it as an attack. If it's not that, it's the fact that I've asked him to repeat something which turns into "you never listen to me..." That quickly snowballs in " you don't respect me, you think I'm stupid, you're a liar, I hate you- you f'ing @#%$." That's the anger and verbal abuse. After screaming for a while he will go to his apartment (located near mine) and start throwing things and slamming doors and screaming on the top of his lungs. He literally makes the whole building shake. I'm surprised that no one has ever called the police. In between that he will call me, screaming and sobbing and the same time... telling me how he hates me, I'm a @#%$, it's all my fault and he's going to kill himself because no one care- especially me. Usually during these episodes, he's paranoid and forgets details about things that have happened- if I correct him or explain something he falls apart even faster- claiming that I think I know everything just because I'm sane and can still remember things. It's hell. Does it sound familiar?

Re: When is the

leave him. Addicts can become very dangerous, if they are
whacked out on meth.

Re: When is the
best time to leave a meth addict? I always left when he was asleep, always. The many times I tried to leave when he was coming down and after the fight started, it always ended up real bad. I was choked unconscious during the last episode. I was six months pregnant. I tried leaving on the first day a couple of times. He always convinced me to stay. One week later, I was wishing I hadn't. If you live in the same building and don't want to move it's going to be hard to just break up with him and it be over. I would strongly suggest to find another place to live (don't let him know where) and then break up with him. |

Re: When is the
