Addiction

I was recently involved with a Leo man, Taurus moon and Scorpio ascendant. A vivacious, loving/possessive, charming man. And I just discovered the extent of his lying, his drug addiction and secret side of his life. I'm distraught obviously, as well as hugely disappointed with myself, how easily I was blinded by my emotions. I have ended all communication with him, I am not able to help him.

Has anybody had a situation like this they would be able to share?

I was with a man who had a gambling addiction....he hid it very well. I arranged for us to go to counselling together but he wasn't prepared to look at his habit. He also did some drugs...

He was one of those people who had an addictive personality.

For a few years, I supported him but he chose to stay stuck in his addictions and eventually it tore us apart

....he was an Aquarius, btw

I didn't offer anything like that because we were not together long enough for him to deserve that from me. Plus I have two children to think about. If it was some recreational drugs on occasion, maybe I could be more forgiving. But I think its alcohol and cocaine, maybe even heroin. A downhill slope that can only end in destruction.

He's a fixed place and it will be hard to change. I hope you either leave now or hopefully you tried helping.

And the kids are more important and if you knew he had those addictions around your kids or bad habits or behaviors around you alone. It's bad for you and I'm sorry you went through this.

But 2017 move away and always ask questions to see what kind of person you have around you in your life.

Well... similar.

Virgo with Sag moon.

I think your (my) perception is different when

you don't have kids though... I was in it a few

years.

He was very secretive and I didn't realize the

extent of his drug use until it became a little too

much to hide.

Good that you cut all communication, though.

It's unfortunate but yeah, nothing you can do

but wish him well, keep your kids away, and

wash your hands of the whole thing.

I left of course, he knew my kids only by sight, there was no involvement because I don't allow that to happen. It's definitely been a lesson for me, he's not a bad man..just so sad that he's going through it.
