Question
Hi
I really need advice. My boyfriend is a huge drug addict. His parents use with him and all his friends want nothing to do with him because of his addiction. He gets so bad that he gets violent and attempted suicide and makes me feel guilty everytime I try to leave. I know he is bringing me down and its a very unhealthy relationship. He at times gets so messed up that he gets violent with me I am scared to call the police because he already has a felony and I do not want to get him in more trouble. Everytime I try to talk to his parents about getting him help they threaten to call the police on me. I feel so alone. I am scared for my life as well as his. I am currently working a full time job, getting my masters, and applying to law schools and I feel that I will not make it. I can’t leave him because of the guilt he puts me through and his attempted suicides everytime I do. Someone please help

Answer
only HE is responsible for his behavior---if i tell you you need to leave, and you say you can't, we're back to square 1--you already KNOW all the reasons to get out, so no sense in me repeating them..so that leaves you either you taking action to save your life, or not..consider counseling to guide you further, or perhaps assisting in some sort of intervention---but if i were you, i'd move FAR away... `
