Can life ever be normal again after a drug addiction?

Question by Jenny: Can life ever be normal again after a drug addiction?
I’ve been with my girlfriend for 7 years. About 2 years ago she relapsed into a terrible drug addiction. I went to a male friend for help and ended up getting emotionally involved with him. I never kissed him or had sex or anything, I just became very needy and clingy with him because of my problems at home. My girlfriend and I decided to work on the issues and we got back together.

Now, its like we have issues with truly forgiving each other. Whenever something new comes up, its like all the past hurts keep coming up along with it. Whenever I try to talk to her about my trust issues she brings up the fact I was a slut. This does nothing to reassure me that I can trust her again.

She lied to me so much and did many bad things like stealing from me and my daughter when she was using drugs. Even my poor little Chihuahua went to a drug dealer. I was traumatized. I don’t mean to justify my actions, but I was scared and heartbroken with what she did and I was only reacting. I was only using that man in order to feel safe.
I’m not bisexual. I was married once but that was before I realized I was really a lesbian. I have lived my life as a lesbian ever since. And, I have been with my girlfriend for a long time. I don’t jump from partner to partner.

Believe me, I thought about leaving her forever but she promised me it was a huge mistake and she would change. She went to rehab and cleaned up, and begged me for another chance. I gave it, but life has never been the same again. I’m really sad.

You mean to tell me you took someone back who stole from your child to obtain drugs, and sold your dog for drugs.

Pfftt…you get what you ask for. You’re a MOTHER it’s time to focus on your DAUGHTER and make sure she has a safe/stable home to LIVE IN. Stop playing games when there is a child involved.
