Partner hid doing crack for a year, found out yesterday.

I don’t have any advice, but I think if he’s doing it in front of other people he’s done it way more than 8 times.

How was he doing crack at home and you didn’t notice?!

How can you not notice a man on crack? and it is very EASY to become addicted. They will always say they aren’t but what druggie will ever admit it?

Since you have a son, your only option really is to move out until he gets clean for good. If you stay with someone who's doing drugs (and it seems like a LOT of people know as well) then you run the risk if CPS getting involved and your son being removed from your care

If he only did it like 8 times in a year he’s not addicted, and he came clean and told you.You can work it out don’t worry. Would be worse if he was at a point were he was doing it every werkend

Im sorry youre going through this, i know exactpy gow youre feeling but my husbands choice of drug was different., unfortunstely an addict will never willingly admit they have a problem until they hit rock bottom, and whatever ammount or number they give you it is never the truth, substances turn the person into someone you never thought you would be with, it does sound like it had been caight in the early stages of addiction though which may be easier to get under control, your partner needs to get involved with meetings and a drug counceller, id also go through every inch of the house and find whatever he may have hidden, if you choose to support him you will also need to do indovidual research on what its like to be the partner of an addict because its an emotionally and mentally draining journey, people can break the cycle and regain their life back, some however can't, know your limit and if you feel its too hard for you to go through then dont feel bad for putting yourself first.

The main concern is the child and honestly if you feel like that's something you're even able to forgive. I personally wouldnt be able to forgive him, and I would end up leaving no matter what. I also don't think I'd believe the only 8 times bit.My recommendation would be to leave and not mess around with the possibility that he will use again though, but ultimately that's your decision to make because this is something that can strongly affect yours and your child's life.

I have worked in the mental/behavioral health field for 2 years and have several immediate family members that struggle with various addictions. In my experience, a person usually does not recreationally use a drug as serious a crack. Your SO is most likely addicted. If he is addicted, you literally cannot trust a word that comes out of the mouth of someone in the throws of addiction. Also, if he has done it in your home that threatens the well being of your child. This is serious. Honestly there is no way for you to know he has stopped w/out him agreeing to regular drug tests.
