Depression

[Jac]

Hi there.I am s stoked I can get answers.anyway my bestfriend love of my life and crime partner is in such a funk he let himself get financially detoxed from the methadone clinic and now is using every day s which isn't to different but now he has to get even if w can't afford it.his plan was to get clean but we've been together for the better part of the last 13 yrs.I'm afraid the depression is do to a realization that we can't be clean together.we took a2 yr break from each other to get clean and I did pretty good he didnt do so hot though ended up back in prison.the depression seems to be of the suicide variety.should I come clean with his mom and push for help our just be his soul mate and listen when he is ready. There is not a being alive on this earth I love more than I love this man and if I'm toxic to him I want to get a saway so he can be happy.

I would be happy for being successful in your attempts to get clean/back on the right path in life.

Hi Jac, welcome to The Dark Side
Firstly, congratulations on getting clean yourself. That is really something to be very proud of. It is difficult to say whether or not it would be better to let your partner make the decision to get clean on his own, or to get his mother involved. What do you think HE would want?? Is he desperate to get clean, but at the same time pretty helpless? If so, maybe it is time to get his mother involved. Does she know anything about his drug use or wishes to be sober?

With regards to your depression, have you ever seen a therapist about it before? Is that something you would consider doing?
