If the dad has a drug addiction get him into rehab he’ll thank you later

He has to willingly go to rehab and something tells me he's not interested

That only works if he wants to go.

I wish I can put many likes on this comment.

Can’t you call some hotline to help if you know someone who is suffering from addiction? Either way it’s illegal and if the dad is refusing help you gotta force him even if it means getting police involved

I agree with you, but it’s her dad. It’s hard to give up on someone that close to you.

I’m really sorry this happened but I personally couldn’t see this going any other way. If my father was addicted to drugs and my boyfriend gave me such an ultimatum I would’ve done the exact same thing.

Really? If you were serious enough to live with your boyfriend, you would keep enabling a drug addicted parent to the point of making all fo your homeless and that still wouldn't be enough to force dad to deal with his demons? Enabling to that extent is going to killt he old man faster, not slower. As long as daughter keeps trying to hold his life together for him he has no need to get clean.

hell naw. giving up on my own personal life to take care of my grown ass parent for the choices he made? I'd have kicked him out long ago.

I’m sorry this is happening to you. By helping her father, your girlfriend is just enabling him to live this lifestyle. My sisters an addict and she only went into recovery once the ones close to her cut her off. It’s hard but the only way to help one!

You can’t control your gf’s choices. It sucks, but it’d be best for you to move on.

Well technically you aren’t taking care of him anymore

Stick to your guns, OP. Hopefully she’ll realize you’re right and just trying to take care of yourself and her. I hope her dad gets the help he needs from professionals.

You're frustruation is completely justified. However if your family is not there to help you in a really bad part of your life who else will? So you have to understand her point of view, it's her father and atleast you know she's the type to be there for her loved ones when in need.

uh. No she's not helping him. she's enabling him.

I see where you are coming from, but also, if you make her choose between you and her dad, you have very little chance of winning

people don't change, you got out before it got worse and believe me it gets worse
