baby daddy's

Alright so my bf is addicted to weed and pills, and he says he will give it up when we found out I was pregnant.  He is still doing them, and now says he is going to rehab for about a year. This is his second time going back to rehab. He is very distant and I hardly talk or see him. I dont know what to do.

I am going through the same thing. My BD is addicted to meth. When he would out i was pregnant he said he would stop but he never did. He still hasn't and I'm 29 weeks. I shut him out completely and he still hasn't stopped. I'm going to be completely honest with you and thing ell you thing his drugs are his true love, you or the baby are not important to him. If you were he would have stopped as soon as you found out you were pregnant. It is going to be hard at first not to let him be involved (trust me ) but in the long run it takes so much stress off you and it will be so much better for your little one. And maybe shutting him out completely will be an eye opener for him. Best of luck and remember it's not about you or your BD anymor. It's all about your baby

I come from a family with A LOT of alcoholics and addicts, some recovering and some not. I've done a lot of research on rehabilitation, things like AA, NA, etc. It's my opinion that people don't change or get help unless THEY want it. It is an internal battle that they have to fight. And as much as we may want the change for them, ourselves, or our children, there is nothing you can do except to support him fully if he makes the choice to quit. Now, if he can't make the choice to quit on his own, I might ask him to leave. It's not healthy in any way (physically, emotionally, mentally) to bring the baby into a world where this is the first thing that surround him/her. Sometimes it takes that sort of a drastic move to get a person to get help for an addiction, which would be wonderful in your case. But sometimes it's still not enough. Sending good prayers your way momma!

If this is his second time going to rehab chances are he will relapse & do it again . Honey please do not put your FAITH in him, because men will fail you each time you do! Most times when you have to go to rehab more than once you do the same thing over & over again . I have learned this via Dr.Phil(: & he's not only addicted to marijuana he's addicted to pills as well . Good Luck!

He's not gonna stop because of the baby, if he won't stop for the woman he loves he's not stopping for anything. And you don't need that negativity around your baby. If he doesn't go to rehab I'd leave.
