Q Dear Auntie Pearl, I need your help so that I can leave my boyfriend. It’s difficult for me because he is the father of my child.
The problem is that he is on tik. He does not have a job and he does not support us.
I have a job and managed to arrange that my baby stays with my aunt during the day.
I know my berk is not good for me, but I love him. Actually he is not a bad guy, it’s just that he won’t kick the tik.
What must I do?
From Selena
A Haibo meisiekind, you mos know what to do! Life with a tikkop is not one any person needs.
You have two options: Either you assist him to get help to kick his habit, or you kick him to the curb. Finish and klaar.
So gaan praat met hom and give him the ultimatum that he has to clean up his act, go to rehab and stay clean.
Otherwise, it’s over between you.
Selena, you need to realise that a druggie is not something you should have in your life, especially if you are a mother.
He has a choice to make. And if he chooses tik, then you choose to live a life without him.
Focus on a clean future for you and your laaitie.
