Meth Users' Excuses
At times the addict in my
life ducks out of sight as has been discussed by many here, but
at times I have felt that he almost seeks me out to "push my
face into it" so to speak. Almost like he's enjoying waving his
user flag and saying "nah nah you can't do anything about this!"
It's at these times that he rants about how he hates his life,
never wanted to have children and that he hates his wife because
she doesn't do this or that. Then the next day he will turn
around and will be calling his wife baby and be very
affectionate with her and their children.
This is very confusing to me. Can anyone explain what exactly is
going on? Is he "hating" and ranting when he's coming off the
stuff or can't get anymore and loving when he's really high? |

Re: Meth Users' Excuses
Being around an active
addict is very confusing. But, I think that you have got it
about right. He is pissed off when he doesn't have any or is
coming down or he is happy when he has it. |

Re: Meth Users' Excuses
In my experience with my
addict he is very hateful towards us when using and nicer
towards us when he isn't using.
The only times he is nice while using is when he thinks he can
manipulate me and get something but that usually doesn't work
and then back to the hating. |

Re: Meth Users' Excuses
For me, my son tries to
avoid me when he is high. But, if I do see him when he is high,
he is nice. I mean he will talk to me, really talk to me. Talk
about stuff he won't talk about any other time. Serious
conversations, stuff that's in his head, you know, like his
hopes, dreams, fears, etc..
The mean him comes along when he is coming down. I learned that
here btw. I thought for the longest time that he was mean when
he was high. Not the case. This is when my son raves about
hating like, how everything is someone else's fault.
When he is not using or not coming down, just being himself, he
actually a pretty quiet person. |

In addition to the above
great opinions, he seems to be the "classic" type mental abuser. |

Re: Meth Users' Excuses
Happy, almost carefree
when high. Mean, hateful, cruel when coming down. |
