So, I've never posted on this forum so spare me some mercy if I'm doing this wrong.
I'm dealing with a swears-to-be EX drug addict who has been stirring our suspicions, especially lately. To my knowledge, she used to be on pills for years and heroin for a short time. Us finding out definitely caused household issues between everyone, her spending money we didn't have and using her very young daughter as an excuse/puppet to help get out of the house and get her fix. This was about 2-3 years ago. It became very easy for me to identify when she was high, especially once she switched to heroin. She would nod off mid-conversation or while sitting on the couch, and her speech and sentences were unorganized, made no sense, and were sometimes slurred. She had pinpoint pupils and was spaced out. If you woke her up mid-sleep, she would be unbelievably disoriented (and not 'just woke out of a deep sleep' disoriented) and barely knew where she was.
Lately, all of those have been occuring again for the past couple months, besides the nodding off which was the most obvious sign. She drinks and smokes bud, which we don't have a problem with, but she uses these as the reason for why she's acting strange, all the time.
The other day we found a heroin baggie with some still in it ON THE BATHROOM SINK, OUT IN THE OPEN, along with a cut straw with white residue in a nearby room. She claims she found it in her room from years ago, came downstairs to flush the heroin, forgot, left it on the sink, and then walked into the other room and "must have dropped the straw." This does not add up at all. The only thing that makes sense to me is that she's still on something, and was so high she lost track and left her stuff out in the open. Not only would no one be that careless about getting rid of incriminating evidence, but what drug addict has the willpower to stop and leave heroin in a cabinet in her room to forget about and find years later? Confronted, she stook up for herself for basically a few minutes, followed by unorganized lies and contradicting stories, and then sort of brushed it off and wouldn't talk about it since. If you were being accused of something so big and you were innocent, wouldn't you defend yourself until they believed you?
Reading this makes me realize that it sounds so guilty I shouldn't be questioning it, but when we bring it up and accuse her of anything, she denies it and we cannot find evidence solid enough to make her admit she's lying or to just leave. I can't deal with a second round of sitting around knowing she's on drugs and not doing anything about it, but she's a good person who doesn't deserve for us to drop everything and go if we're just being paranoid.
I'm not being paranoid, right? What should I do?
