rcn agony auntYou need to get out of there, and don't wait. With him being on drugs, you may need to have the assistance of the authorities. I know that's hard, but some on drugs are really unstable with their behavior. Call your local police department and let them know you need to relocate to the "Safe House" Let them know your boyfriend is a drug user and may not be stable. Also let them know their is a child in the home and you are pregnant.

Seek counseling to help you with these issues too. There is a certain amount of damage you'll carry because of this. There are programs through your local family services department. They will assist you in gaining employment, housing through the housing authority, and they provide job training if needed. You having a child need to be safe for the benefit of not just you but your children.

You are going to have to leave him if this continues and he may have to leave to find help. A friend of mine has a heroin addict husband and found a place that will do 6 months of rehab. He lives there during that time (but friends and family can visit) and they also put him to work instead of asking for money. I don't know how many places are run like this, but you can look.

For you and your children there are also programs for battered women and children that you can look into. I'm sure there are quite a few programs that are similar if you don't think you fit the battered women category.
