Nah. OP isn't being too harsh. Good for the people saying that because they've probably never lived with an addict.

It's a delightful merry go round of emotions. They tell you one thing and do another behind your back, if you have suspicions you're the paranoid one, they accuse you of not trusting them, when they can't hide it anymore it's your fault for expecting so much of them, then they break down and they need you, they're sick, they need your help to get better, then they fill you with hope and they make promises, and they do everything they're supposed to do, and they make their apologies, and life seems to go back to normal, but then the whole cycle repeats itself.

This. Yes, addiction is a disease and it's awful, but there's only so much an addict's loved ones can be expected to handle before it's just too fucking much.

This. I've never lived with one, but I've had family members who struggled with drug addiction. I don't think most people fully understand how much this can warp a person and change them into someone you don't recognize and cannot be safe around. Drug addicts can and will steal from the people they love. They will take money out of their own childrens' mouths to feed their habit, because this is how much their addiction controls them. You cannot control how or when they will hit rock bottom, so you don't know how low they will end up going or how much you'll be hurt when they do.

This isn't about hating them, or chastising them. It's about drawing healthy boundaries and not allowing someone's behavior to harm you or your kids even if they can't help that behavior.
