I'm in desperate need of advice. I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over a year now and I love him and he has been there for me and has helped me through my addiction. I'm a recovering heroin addict but my family hates my boyfriend because we got into a physical altercation once in front of my 8 yr old daughter and as a result my daughter now lives with her dad. My boyfriend has never used drugs and he wants me to move across the country with him to start my life over because I recently just started staying with my parents again to get clean. However my older sister is getting released from the hospital soon after getting an infection from drug use and my boyfriend and I are terrified of her being in the same environment as me because it may jepordize my recovery. I've always used with my sister and I'm not sure if she wants to change. I don't want to move away from my family and daughter but I'm scared if I don't I will fall right back into drugs and may never make it back out. What should I do? (link)

Your daughter needs you...time flies on, faster for you, but slow for children. Your "location" isn't the issue...it's what's in your head..your bad stuff you shove deep down...fix that. Don't compromise your awesome chance at making the world a better place through your little girl... God gave you the gift of procreation, of life...because he knew you were the best decision for her life...you got this....he will understand.

I understand where you are coming from....and I know your reasons are heartfelt and desperate...you hope that by finding a way through this, that things will eventually 'change' to fit you both better. Faith and Hope are beautiful things in a relationship...but there comes a point where you are just compromising yourself...being a 'martyr'..if you will. Truly, madly, deeply in love is where it should be always...,and always trust your woman's instinct.
