Where Would You Draw The Line?
I’m going to give you a series of events. I want you tell me when enough is enough. Let’s play Let’s Just Say…..
Okay, so the first thing is your significant other is a meth addict. But, you love this person. The next thing is that this person spanks your kids and leaves bruises.
Your children get taken away by child protection. You get your children back, and the county says that your SO isn’t to have contact with the kids.
Your SO lives in the house anyway.
Your kids get taken away again. This time, the county requires proof that this person has vacated the house and No Contact is strictly enforced.
You have to go to court several times.
You lose your job because you miss too much work because of this. You are unable to receive unemplyment benefits.
Your SO is a dick. This person treats everyone like shit, even you. This person is a thief and a liar. This person is hyper-paranoid.
This person steals your best friend’s car and almost gets it impounded.
So, to sum it all up, you’ve lost your friends, your kids twice, your job, and the only employed person in the house, so you are going to lose your house.
Where would you draw the line? When is enough enough? Or, if you were this person’s best friend, and you were watching them destroy their lives over a loser like this, what would you say?

i would have drawn the line at this person is a meth addict. people addicted to these types of things put the drug before a lot of things. they will do a lot to get their next fix hurt a lot of people. loving them and being in a relationship with them can be two different things. you dont want to enable them or endanger the people u love around u.
sometimes love just isn’t enough reason to stay with a person. your children should be your top priority. once they were taken from you because of him, that should have been where you drew the line.
@azndood4you - I completely agree with you. I would never date a meth addict.
@XxRainyxMondayxX - Actually, it’s my room mate. I think when I move out, I’ll write her a letter telling her that love isn’t always healthy.
