I never go and see him just because i know that he will be all messed up on his pills and he always is telling me how much he misses me.. I don't think his overdose was an accident.. Right now I'm just really confused and angry and sad... Can anybody give me any advise, maybe even from his point of view? |
I think you should go see him. It may help the 2 of you. You can request that a counselor be present. And be open and honest with him. He's in the place right now for you to talk to him. Brutal honesty seems to be the best help and if you do it while he's in rehab he can talk to a counselor about what you said.
I'd love to offer you more advice and support. Just remember "Its not your fault!" You saved his life in more ways then you can ever imagine. You should get yourself some help too. When I found out my boyfriend was using, I started seeing a counselor. The next few months, even years will be tough on you. I thought I was ok once my bf went into rehab, but I'm just now facing what really happened and its a lot to handle. Just do the best you can day by day. Worry about yourself. He will get the help he needs.
