Hi Needthelight,

I’m going to suggest something that sounds very cruel: Leave the man and move into a household where it is just you and your son. Yes, even if he loses his kids. And guess what, that wouldn’t happen immediately, he would have enough time to figure something out.

You can’t go wrong when you do the right thing. Your son needs a full, attentive mother. Your quasi-step children need the full attention of a parent, even if it’s from their mother. Your BF needs to get a job and be self sufficient for his children.

Don’t let guilt hold you back. Blame your partner’s drug use. His problems really aren’t yours. Only your son is yours. He is the only one that matters here when it comes to your responsibility.

Good Luck,

Inky
