Hi Emma,
Thats ok I’m happy to respond to you, thank you for reaching back out to me.
I understand Emma90 where his parents are at and it’s tough.
The mums of the addict sometimes do seem to be in denial but deep down they know the truth and in some cases it’s the Mum who’s the strongest who holds the family together.
The Dads do get fed up with it all and sometimes wonder how much more they can take. They try to be strong but sometimes don’t really know within themselves how to deal with it.
Your partner is going to do what he is going to do but the best thing his parents can do and yourself is to try to hold each other together.
It can be a long tiring road.
Please remember it’s not you or his parents who have the addiction, you still need to do things for yourself in your life that you enjoy doing.
I understand that having the thought of being kicked out of the family home would be stressful.
Is your partner aware that speaking to a health professional can be beneficial to him?
There may be certain medications available to him so he doesn’t crave the drugs and then can live a more functional life?
I understand that living regional can be difficult for finding support but yourself and your partner could do some research yourselves and speak to certain health professionals who could help you via phone or video chat?
Im sorry that your partner is in the thought process he is in regarding his schizophrenia and drugs but this emphasis the fact that he really needs to seek appropriate medical attention ASAP.
There really is HOPE Emma90 but your partner needs to want better for himself and then take the appropriate action in getting to this point.
