I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Your boyfriend has to want to stop and no matter how much you want it he can only quit when he is ready. But to help the process you need to have a discussion with him to tell him how you feel and that he must stop and if not there will be consequences. You can support him but to enable him to continue the abuse of drugs is not good. He must make his own choice. He should be aware that if he chooses drugs then he stands to lose you and your daughter. Although it is the toughest thing to do, "tough love" will help the process. And, perhaps he will agree to counseling or outpatient treatment. I would also suggest that you try to connect with a local support group that will help you deal with this situation. It is not easy and I really wish the best for you and your daughter and hope that your boyfriend will admit that there is a problem and get treatment for his illness.
