What is there left todo at this point?
Brief backstory - my cousin (32M) who I’ve (30F) always been close to has struggled with addiction his whole life. Progressed from weed & alcohol all the way up to heroin. I’d cut contact last year as he was just being an asshole, since then he ended up giving up his flat and moving into some sort of halfway house(?) and on H. It’s worth noting his brother dropped dead around a decade ago in his bedroom from the lasting effects of heroin after being sober for over a year.
Once I found out he was on H, it did change something for me, I reached out and we started talking again. I offered him to come and live with me if he could stay sober for a few weeks, but he wasn’t coming here in active addiction. He understood, this was around 3-4 months ago. He hasn’t been able to stay clean to be able to come to me yet, but I’ve just told him the offer stands no matter how long it takes.
He’s very needy and demanding, will blow up my phone until I answer, beg to stay on the phone while I run errands etc. Once I get on the phone it’s 9/10 times the same script… I can’t get sober here, I’m gonna die here, you have to let me come to yours sooner. Followed by attempted negotiation, when I stay firm on my boundaries he says ok I’ve got to go I’ll ring you back in 5, he doesn’t. It’s progressed now to I’ve lent him a little money, I didn’t want to and still don’t want to, but he caught me in a weak moment I guess.
Bringing us to the past couple weeks, last Monday he had an appointment and was put on methadone. I spoke to him Tuesday and all seemed ok and he was in high spirits. He’s not answered my texts all week and when I’ve rang he’s rushed me off the phone. He’s finally answered today with this in the screenshots… is this just a dead end? What do I even do or offer at this point?
