how would you handle your daughter staying with a drug addict?

Question by bumble100bee: how would you handle your daughter staying with a drug addict?
My daughter has been with the same loser boyfriend for 5 years. They have a child together. They both lived with me for a year until I found out he was on heroin again. I kicked his worthless a*s out of my house but she is still with him. This loser is now sleeping on his mommy’s couch and is back on the junk again. He has been addicted to heroin off and on for 5 years. I tried to speak about it to her the other day and said that “No one is going to break them up”. This loser is begging her to get an apartment so he can quit mooching off his mommy and mooch off of her. She has a really decent job but almost all her money goes to this crybaby. I guess even junkies mom is tired of taking care of a 30 year old drug addict. My daughter seems to think she can save this worthless piece of crap. She is 23 years old so its not like I can force her to break up with junkie. I tried to understand and be there for them both but after five years I just gave up. Everyone says to tough it out, that she will come to her senses sooner or later, however it has been five years and she can not seem to snap out of it. I banned him from my house so they sit out in his car in front of the house. She can’t go anywhere without him knowing, he has total control over her. She believes everything this junkie tells her, he even told her he watches her baby when she is working. I watch the baby for her, not him, but she believes everything he says. He treats the baby like shit, always yelling at her he has never bought the baby anything. He didn’t even get her a present for her birthday, he had to have his heroin instead.

I guess you can tell I really hate this guy. I wished he would go away and never come back. However, leeches like him find a gulible girl and latch on for life. After one nasty fight I told my daughter sometimes I wished he would just die so she could be free. She told me she wished I was dead too and off her back. My girlfriends told me that this is destroying my relationship with my daugther. Sad thing is I think it is already destroyed. If she had to choose today she would choose him. If it wasn’t for my grandchild I would have thrown her out too.

Anyway she just might get her wish about me dying. This has been effecting me mentally and physically. I used to be happy go lucky and laugh all the time. Now I am just sad and bitter. I am having bad headaches and now I just found out the tumors are back. I am facing major surgery again. I truly think the bitterness had an effect on me and that could be why they came back. I haven’t even told her how sick I am. Why bother. Too bad I may die and leave my grandchild being raised around a junkie. His dad was/is a junkie living with his mommy, now he is a junkie living off his mommy. What chance does this baby have?

God I just hate this guy. I guess what I am asking is what to do? I dont want to be figthing cancer and her. Can’t throw her out because of the baby, can’t get custody of the baby because I need to the money to cover my expenses while I recover from the surgeries.

Any help?

Best answer:

Answer by FINGER
Theoretically there shouldn’t really be problems with alcoholism if people actually adhere to Islam.

I know that not everyone does, but since the vast majority of Egyptians are Muslims and they aren’t supposed to drink, well…

I imagine that alcoholics would be looked down upon, since my friend’s parents are Egyptian and they are extremely strict about him drinking and so forth.
