My father is a drug addict.
Ok I really need your help. If you guys have any similar stories please share. My name is Elena I'm 19 years old and I live in Arizona. When I was 16 years old I started using Marijuana. It had become an addiction. I hid it from my family for two years. I would always get it from friends who also used it. Well after turning 18 my mother found my stash of edibles in my dresser drawer. She confronted me and I admitted I had an addiction. That it helped me avoid the pain going on in my life. My mom and dad were ok with it. They even did it with me sometimes. But here's where it gets interesting. After they found out especially my dad. I started getting sick when I would use it. He would try to get me to smoke with him knowing I didn't like smokable. My mom had sat me down and said "Has anything good ever happened to you while you've been high?" I said no. And she was right. I had been taken advantage of by my ex boyfriend who got me high used me then said I'm worthless to him. A married man had sexual interactions with me while high. Which I regret everything. At the time I didn't know better. On November 25th 2018 I ended up in the emergency room. I had a severe anxiety attack. And found out I had Gerd. That night I decided to become sober. It's been a couple of months and I'm so happy to see the world with clear eyes and make good choices. So back to my dad. He had a back injury back in 2015. He was a truck driver for almost 20 years and had gotten injured while working for FedEx. He had to have back surgery which he had in September 2016. They put him on back medication. That was very strong opium. He also used Percocet. Vicodin and other types of pills. Now it's 2019 and he's still using. He is a drug addict. He even uses Marijuana at night and thinks I don't notice. I know because I was an addict myself. For months he's been trying to blame me telling my mother I've been stealing pills. She keeps it in a safe with a passcode. Which I have no access to. Every time pills come up missing he tries blaming me and says "Oh we should throw her out she's an addict and is putting us in danger" but she knows it isn't me. He's got a very serious problem. Him and I don't have a good relationship and you guys can see why. He is 39 almost 40. Acts like a child is a compulsive liar. Manipulater. Narcissistic mental abusing piece of shit. He goes to church every Sunday and lies to those people convincing them he's a good man. He isn't. I really need your guys advice. Please help.
Thank you so much.
