The same is true about his alleged bi-polar self and getting medical help for it rather than self-medicating and otherwise taking known illegal and harmful substances for his own purposes. At some point he has to self-destruct. I would not choose to be around when that happens. If you love him, give him a boundary ("Get off the roids and other self-medicating, find competent medical help and discontinue any relationship with younger woman or I'm/you're out of here") and follow through.

Yes, I left him and he is having trouble dealing with that but I am sticking to my guns. I love him very much but this is NOT the man ( or so I thought) I fell in love with. I am not sure who this man is. Its very sad in that he was my best friend. What have I really lost if he was someone who would do this to me? - nothing
