Question by Funkytortoise: LGBT my girlfriend has drug problems?
Hey, I’m 18 and a lesbian, and my girlfriend is 16. I know a lot of people think that the LGBT community is more prone to do drugs. At first it offended me that stuff like that is said, but I’m starting to believe it’s true. Plus, my girlfriend is a big drug user. She smokes weed, drinks, and she does pills. She’s also done other things. She does weed and drinks the most, though. It’s really starting to annoy me. She was out of town for three weeks at a sports camp, and she went all that time without doing anything crazy. I know if she could go that long without doing drugs, then she doesn’t NEED drugs like she claims she does. I’m okay with her drinking every once in a while- like once or twice a month. And smoking too. But she does it several times a week. She’s also starting to get into pills and it scares me. I love her so much. We’ve been together for six months. She’s amazing when she’s sober, but I don’t like how she acts when she’s high. She just acts really chill and inhumane. I’m at the point where I’m ready to tell her to choose me or the drugs because I can’t do this anymore. It breaks my heart and it will break hers, too. I’ve tried multiple times to talk to her about ways to get off drugs, alternatives, but it never works. She always complains about her “addictions” but she never turns her words to actions. And now I KNOWWW she doesn’t need drugs since she went three weeks without them. Is it too harsh to make her choose? This is really affecting my health though. It depresses me and I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions?    Read more...
