Dear readers, a concerned partner has reached out to us for advice on how to handle a difficult situation. The partner discovered that their spouse smokes bhang during the third year of their relationship and has been trying to convince them to quit, but to no avail.
The couple has a 2-year-old child, and the partner is tired of discussing the issue. They are seeking guidance on what to do next.
According to experts, drug addictions are not easy to overcome, and it may be challenging for the spouse to quit bhang immediately. Counselling and therapy will be essential to figure out where the family can go from here, after what we hope will be the spouse's rehabilitation.
Is the problem the bhang, or how the spouse reacts to it? Is the spouse addicted, using resources meant for the family on their marijuana habit? If so, it may be time to reevaluate the relationship and prioritize the well-being of the child.
Ultimately, the decision to stay or leave the relationship is a personal one. However, if you feel that this is not a good environment for your child to grow up in, it may be best to consider moving them to a safer and more stable environment.
