I agree with everyone. I know it is hard right now, but you have a daughter to protect. When people are coming down from the high they can become very violent. The last thing that a child needs is to be around someone like that.

I understand how you feel about wanting to be there for him. I wanted to be there for my daughter when I found out that she was addicted to meth, but instead I had to take action to protect my granddaughter. He is a big boy and he can take care of himself but your daughter is an innocent child that does not deserve to be put through the hell that he will put everyone close to him through.

As far as him quiting...it just does not happen like that. Like someone already said "how do you tell an addict is lying...they are moving their lips" There is nothing you can do for him except prolong his recovery by being his crutch. He will tell you whatever you want to hear right now. If he truely is going to quit he will do it with or without you, he has to want it bad enough to do it. Nothing you do or say will cause him to stay away from Meth.

You have some hard choices to make right now and I hope for your daughters sake that you will make the right ones. I know that you want support right now and you have come to the right place for it, but you have to be willing to take the advice and learn from it. You can either find out the way that we all did and be dragged down a road of hell or you can take the good advise that everyone has given you and get away from him while you still have your sanity.
Sorry for being so blunt about everything but there is no sugar coating what Meth will do to a family.
