I'm afraid that my boyfriend is turning to drugs and alcohol when he is going through hard times.


I know that he has a lot of family issues at the moment and is struggling with an eating disorder as well as self image and body issues. I love him so much and i care about him more than anything in the world. My excessive worry over him in the past has been a consistent theme in our relationship and I don't want to make him feel worse or cause any more problems. However, everytime he sends me pictures with vapes or cigarettes, or I know he is drunk I get so worried about him.


Drugs and alcohol have always been terrifying to me and I always said I would never get involved in these kind of things. I trust him completely and I know he is sensible and smart but I'm afraid he doesn't know what he's getting into. His sister often gets him things like vapes and his family is aware of what they both do. I love his family and his sister but I'm terrified about the impact they have on him. They also upset him on a daily basis being rude or disrespectful to him or other family members. I know he feels like he comes from a broken home and I know I don't know what it's like to be in his shoes.


I don't know if I should bring my worries up to him as I don't want him to feel like he should act differently around me or like he needs to worry about my feelings yet again. But I also feel like this is eating away at me and my anxiety is going through the roof because of it.
