What would you do - drug addicted SS21 just texted me

karenemoy's picture

SS21 just sent me a text message asking me how I am doing. I am shaking. In addition to being a drug addict - SS21 just got out of rehab (again) and living in sober living facility in another state. He also is bi-polar. I feel bad but he just tells lies. I cant deal with him.

I am afraid he is reaching out to me because he wants something.

But I feel as if I dont respond he will do something and it will be my fault.

Do I just ignore him?

I really cannot deal with him - I am have SO much anger.

He just ruined my day. I was doing OK but now I am shaking. I am afraid of him.

He may be trying to make a genuine change in his life and may be wanting to reconnect with you. I'm sure things got really bad with him due to your reaction so I'd say that you need to do what feels right for you.

Block him. Then he won't have access to ruin your day.

Or just respond with "I am fine and hope you are doing well." Then don't engage further in this contact.

Good luck.

IMO....I would try to feel him out. Maybe he is making a change and he's trying. Maybe just respond with something short and sweet. Like "Hi how are you? We are doing good. Hope everything is going okay." I wouldn't get into great detail him with regarding your personal life.
