Thanks for the response. However- I don't know if I understood the answer. Does the withdrawls include sobbing and talking and talking like he did the other night? He slept all day, left to go to Target (maybe he used when he left?? I don't know). When he came back we went from intense arguing, holding him while he cried (sobbed is more appropriate word), then listening to his stories (without me getting much of a word in). I would think if he was crashing he would be more mellow, tired, and less talkative and emotional. Am I wrong? I did read the helpful tips and passed them on to his family. Very helpful. Also -he has paranoia. Would that end if he was not using?
Again -how will I know if he is still using or if he has quit?
I understand the comment that the further away I am the better-however, he is my best friend, father of my child, and the love of my life -I can't pull away...not yet anyway. Additionally, his family lives over and hour away and I am the closest to him as I only live 5 minutes from him. The family is relying on me to keep in contact with him and to try to gadge whether he is really off of the drug or if he is still using. I need to know what both will look like to help us to know what exactly we are truly dealing with. Until I can tell if he has quit (as he says he has -but obviously we have no trust to believe him) or if he is using we don't know how to proceed. Any ideas out there on how to tell the difference?
