Am I strong enough to handle this.
I lost my uncle to heroin when I was 15. It was the first huge loss of my life.
In 2007, I started dating someone and fell head over heels in love with them.
They had a serious pill & coke problem. He ended up raping me in September of 2007.
This week, Someone I went to high school with who I was never really friends with Im'd me on facebook and we started talking.
He asked me if I would cut his hair and if I wanted to go out and get a drink to catch up.
Then he told me that he was addicted to Heroin and that he was newly clean.
I told him that I would cut his hair, but my head has been racing for the past few days because I don't know if I should.
I talked it over with my older brother, and he thinks that its a bad idea because I have the tendency to attract these types of people and because I am a nice person, they end up taking advantage of me and I wind up getting hurt.
I keep telling myself that I wont let myself get involved and I wont feel like I can help him.
I decided that I would tell him my concerns before I cut his hair and let him decide..
But how do you tell someone that you don't want them in your life at all because of they are an (former) addict.
Is that even fair? I know that drugs change people and that he isn't the same person that he was when I knew him before.
Someone help.
