Partner Wants To Dump Drug Addict
Dear Abby | December 7th, 2025 | Letter 2 of 2
DEAR ABBY: I have been with a man for 25 years. The first few years were wonderful, but then he turned to drugs and became a different person. I can't get away from him. I work two jobs to support us. He doesn't respect me. I have asked him to leave repeatedly. He refuses. I leave it at that so as to avoid rocking the boat, because he can be a jerk. I'm ready to pack up and move, but everything here is mine. What should I do? -- OUT THE DOOR IN THE EAST.
DEAR OUT: Schedule an appointment with an attorney to discuss your problem. You should no longer support your drug-addicted abuser because by doing so, you have become his enabler. If you feel he presents a danger to you or your property, file a police report and ask for a restraining order. With their help, you may finally be able to pry him out of your home. If you are afraid that he will retaliate, install a security system. For further suggestions, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 or thehotline.org.
