My Boyfriend’s Weed Addiction Is Tearing Us Apart! 😭💔

I never imagined that starting a family would mean fighting a daily battle with addiction. My boyfriend, B, has been hooked on weed since high school, and even after our baby girl was born, nothing changed. Now, every week, he spends more on weed than on diapers or formula, and when I ask him to stop, he just promises he needs more time. His family acts like it’s no big deal, and I feel like I’m the only one who cares about our daughter’s future. When we visit my parents in Atlanta, B switches to vaping, but by Sunday night, he’s restless and irritable, desperate for his next hit. I’m exhausted from always being the "bad guy," and honestly, I’m starting to lose hope that things will ever change. Has anyone else felt this alone in their own family? If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Please tell me I’m not the only one struggling like this. 🥺 #FamilyStruggles #AddictionAwareness #ParentingChallenges #FamilyRelationships

I have a very unreliable mother.😢

Growing up in a small town in Texas, I never thought my biggest worry would be my own mom. Some days, she’d disappear for hours, only to come home acting like a stranger. I learned to hide my feelings, to dodge her anger, and to make sure my little brother had dinner—because she often forgot. I used to blame myself, thinking maybe if I was better, she’d change. But the truth is, her addiction isn’t my fault. I’ve tried talking to her, but she either denies there’s a problem or gets defensive. It’s exhausting, and sometimes I just want to run away from it all. If you’ve ever felt trapped by a parent’s addiction, you’re not alone. How do you cope when you feel more like the adult than the child? I’d love to hear your stories—maybe we can help each other feel a little less alone. 💬 #FamilyStruggles #AddictionAwareness #ParentChildRoles #MentalHealth #ShareYourStory #FamilyRelationships
