Daughter's drug addict boyfriend
      20/05/2009 15:39

Does anyone have experience of this? My daughter, who lives in Italy, has been going out with someone for about 18 months. He was a heroin addict for 10 years which he kicked 3 years ago. She has just told me that he is now hooked on Lorazepam and is taking upto 20 tablets a day. Not only that, but his brother is too and they both live with her. She is devasated. He sounds as if he is reluctant to go to NA meetings, although he did in the past when he was on heroin.
I have absolutely no experience of anything like this, but from what I read it sounds as if it's a terrible drug to wean yourself off.
Can anyone help? What should I say to her? Might she be in danger?
I feel so useless.
