I was heavily indulged in crystal meth(ice) last year. Made me do alot of bad things worse of all was incurring debts on myself.Was in rehab late last year and got out April this year,ever since i got out i live with my dad which we do not ry gt along really well. He been treating me in not so nice ways and making me question my age at some point. I understand i made a mistake and i got a job now and i'm repaying my debts. Only now he keeps up the insults in front of his second wife and i'm what you can say maltreated. Is it normal i move out of their apartment or what do i do?

If you have an alternative i.e you can comfortably rent an apartment on your own and can deal with the addiction alone,you can move out
If not, stay with your dad and turn his "insults" into motivations and take a pledge never to go back on the addiction and be a better person
He will come around...That may be your own dad way of firing you up
Dads are precious you know??
Bless up brother!

Call him for a one on one and pour your heart to him.

Tell him that you will hate to move out of the house but will have to because you don't want a situation where you will be talking back to him in the precense of his second wife.

That he just has to stop as it is actions are not helping you at all.

If you are not standing firmly on your feet financially then I suggest you stay with your dad as long as can. And work on trying to avoiding conflict with him as much as you can so you can have peace of mind while you remain with him. undecided

Your dad is supposed to be cajoling with sweet words and encouragement so that you can fully recover not him lashing you all the time with words. You don't need that kind of energy and vibes you're getting from him at all. You need to be on a good mood most of the time so that you don't relapse.

Try and be around people who will lift up your spirit. If you can afford moving out and getting a place of your own or you can try and salvage your relationship with your dad.

Let me just include this for clarification.... He has always seen me as a liability and me been here with him "eating his food" is not something he is comfortable with...... Most times i'm happy whenever he is not around. When he is i am just down.

Your father is really not helping matters as he's unknowingly trying to push you back into using drugs. His attitude is likely to cause you depression which can result in you trying to find solace in those drugs.

So, if you have another relative who understands your condition, I'll advise you go and stay with him/her until you've completely repaid your debt and can rent an accommodation of your own.

Continually staying with your father might cause you to relapse.

I can relate so so well just that I’m younger and I didn’t go to a rehab to recover. I dunno why some fathers are like that
That’s why I prefer Moms over dads

My advice : stay focused on your goals and seek solace in the church and the Bible. Learn a skill too if possible so you can leave home as soon as you can sustain yourself

Hope you have not gone back.
The biggest mistake one can make is abusing drugs.
