I am 6 months pregnant. My boyfriend has had drug problems his whole life. His parents are both addicts and his mom smoked crack while she was pregnant. When he turned 18 he got a huge settlement check and went on a month long binge (we had been together for about 3 years then). We broke up for about 6 months and got back together this past January. In April I found out I was pregnant. Everything was fine. He had been clean since Christmas Eve.
HG has been living with me at my parents house because we are trying to save as much money as we can for this baby.
Just last night he told us that he had to leave really early with his dad for work so he was going to stay at his house. Well he didn't stay. He went out and did some lines and took some Zantex. I had to pick him up in the morning because he was "sick" and my mom instantly knew that he was messed up. My mom told me to pack his stuff because he was gone and he tried to just walk out but I wouldn't let him. Anyways, they offered to take him to rehab and I tried so hard to get him to go but he wouldn't he said it was too late and that everything was ruined. So the cops came and took him but they let him go and now he's just sleeping at his dad's house.
My question is what do I do? He is not allowed at my house or his dad's house until he goes to rehab. I know he wants to be here for his son and I know that he loves me and doesn't want to throw away 4 years but I don't know how to convince him that NOW is the time to make things better. All I believe in him. I know that he can do this and that he is better than this but he's struggled with it his whole life and I'm afraid it will never change. I don't want our son to grow up without him and I don't want to be without him. He means more to me than anything in the world.
Sorry that was so long. Please help. Is there any hope?
