Another Dysfunctional Family

He ask me to help him start his own business. I did. And boy was that a mistake. Everything in my name. Okay, so I think if you have any idea of what a drug addict is like you can figure the rest out. The business is going nowhere and I am left with the damages. In the past when I have found a job he will make sure he finds ways to make it miserable for me. He does not want me to work so he works his magic somehow to find ways for me to lose my job. 

He is controlling and hurtful to all of us. He lies to us constantly. He does not want anything to do with us as a family. But he refuses to let us go. He does not like anyone, finds fault with everyone. Uses everyone he can for what he can get from them. And trust me, this man has such a savvy way about himself that he can take the shirt off a shirtless man. But refused to let anyone get close to him outside as well as inside. Shelters himself in the bedroom when he is here, even in his recovery state. These use to last for a longer period of time, his recovery, now they last at the most two months. He takes from us whenever he gets the chance. 

Money my children have put away, he finds and takes. As well as their personal belongings,  anything he can sell. Does it matter to him how this hurts them, That their father would do this. To him, this is okay, just because he has a disease that he cannot control. Even though he knows what steps he has to take to overcome this. He tells us how we are ungrateful for everything he does for us. How we show no respect to him for all he has given to us, and how hard he works to support us. He controls all the money. And when I had a job, my check had to go for wherever he directed it. We do not own our own home. We have no money. I go to the thrift stores to get cloth me and the children about once a year. My oldest has a part time job, whom he thinks should give him her money when he wants it. Gets angry when she tells him no. I cannot tell you how many times we have gone with no food in our house, because he has spent all the money on his love.
