How dangerous would it be to live with someone who does crack..?

Question

well my dad wants me to live with him, and he used to do crack, but says es been over it for over a year.. but when i came to his house yesterday i decided to look for alcohol because he said he wasnt an alcoholic anymore either.. and i found a pipe in a droor with what im pretty sure was crack.. hes only lived there 4 months, so im pretty sure he hasnt been over it for a year.. im just pretty confused. he says he wants me there to help him not do drugs, but i know people can get dangerous.. so i dont know what to do.. :\

Answer 1

He needs PROFESSIONAL help to assist him in getting off drugs. He should NOT bring you into a situation like this because it will be very dangerous for you. If you were to move in, it really doesn't mean that he's going to stop - he may think this would be what's best to help himself, but it isn't. It's going to harm you.

He has to do this for himself and without you until he's healthy. Confront your dad and tell him what you found in his drawer. Tell him that you can't live with him until he is fully rehabilitated.

I wish you the best.

Answer 2

Stay away. For one thing, crack addicts steal. For another, some though not all can fly into rages, as can alcoholics, and that raises the possibility of violence. I'm terribly sorry that your father needs help, but you can't be expected to sacrifice your safety or well being because someone else has a drug problem, even someone close to you.

Answer 3

don't do it , the crack habit is one of the hardest to kick . he wants you there for some thing but it isn't to help him stop doing drugs thats for sure and actually since your mom would have to pay him child support your helping him since your moms hard earned money would be spent on crack and eventually alchohol to. he also sounds very abusive i don't understand why a smart beautiful young lady like you would want to be alone with a guy who going to get creepy and abusive every time he get his choice  of controlled substance in his system. drugs can make people do the meanest , creepiest and and most degrading things , add booze and the problems multiply

stay with your mom no matter how many time she grounds you and nags you just stay there

Answer 4

well my mother was a addicted to crack for about 5 years and it was the hadest thing for me... i ended up moving out and having a baby.... once i found out i was preggers i told her " if you dont stop you will no longer see me or my son.... so i think you jst need to tell your dad " Dad you have so much of your own stuff to deal out right now that maybe it would be best if we didnt live together until you get you life back on track "        tell him that you know about the pipe and that you think he has some other priorities to take care of... he cant love you until he loves hiself..... my mother also got cancer adn nearly died from smokinmg crack cocain..... and that didnt even wake her up... it took me getting pregnant before she realised.... " IF YOU DONT STOP EVERYTHING YOU LOVE IS GOING TO GO AWAY"
