I broke up with a meth addict months ago but I am still emotionally destroyed?

Question by Sarah D: I broke up with a meth addict months ago but I am still emotionally destroyed?
I lived with this man for a year and the last few months of our relationship, he had been hiding meth. I was ignorant to it all and took it quite hard since drugs were never introduced in my life and didn’t even know how to spot the signs.

We had been engaged, he had cheated, lied constantly, ignored me, and even stole from me and honestly, none of this was brought to light until our split. After all the anger my feelings of caring for him are back. I want to see him clean and I know we can never be together again but I don’t know how to move on.

I dated a guy for a week and suffered a few panic attacks from him just hiding smoking from me. I will admit, I have turned to drinking since this happened. I do journal but its still not enough. I had to move, was and still am broke since the break up, I have suffered countless panic attacks and have no clue how to open up to someone new. Help me, give me advice please.

I have done research about the effects of meth, I have looked up how to move on in relationships but I don’t know how to overcome the mental abuse of it all.

I was once told a thief will just steal your wallet, a tweaker will steal it then help you look for it… that was my life with him and I can’t handle deception even from friends for surprises anymore.

I am still broke tho so counciling is hard for me to afford. This is all I have.
