when you wasted 2 years trying to save a homeless drug addict, he tells you he wants to get sobber. you fall in love with him, he makes you feel like you were the only one there for him. you went out of your way, gave up a job, energy, time with your kids for him, all to find out you were being used, he had no intentions on ever getting sobber and laughing behind your back at how much he had you wrapped around his finger. how do you get over that? the hurt, the anger, so overwhelming. they say never trust a drug addict, i thought he was different. who wastes 2 years of someones life like that? let alone a very nervous single mother of 2 that usually avoids leaving the house. how can someone take advantage of someone like that, knowing how much he meant to me. i cried all the time when I would bring him back to the streets after spending time with him and i never meant shit to him. how, just how does someone get over that ? š¢š

what stands out is how much you rearranged your life for him. job, kids, energy. he didnāt just lie, he pulled you out of your own world. no wonder the anger feels impossible to let go.
omg yes ! and his biggest complaint was always that i wanted him to change his life and i made no sacrifices. thats all i did !!!!
looking at my old self. i gave up pieces of my life for someone who only took. i remember crying in the car after dropping him off feeling like i mattered so little. iām sorry youāre in that same pain.
i wasted 6years with himā¦ still i canāt stop thinking about him
i was with a guy like that too. he swore he wanted better then laughed about me behind my back. i felt like the biggest idiot wasting years on someone who never cared. it made me hate myself for a while.
iām sorry it happened, u might feel sad right now, but it will be okay one day if you can let it go now
