He has no business being around kids, whether they are his own or not. From your answer when asked if this was the same guy as another thread, your answer speaks volumes.

He will always be an addict even when he is in recovery. It's a lifelong disease which he can maintain should he choose to. What type of a man continues to ask a woman for money. He doesn't sound like someone worth pursuing a future with even as a friend.

Don't take offense when nice people are trying to steer you away from troubles and pain.
I suggest you look into Nar-Anon and Al-Anon. You can only control what you do.

the friend that is telling you that this guy ( drugy ) doesn't have long to live may be right, I've had a lover, a sister-in-law and three friends die from drug use, all of them in thier mid to late 20's when they died, some were easier to watch die and some were very hard to see, now when I find out that a person is useing, I won't be around them or stand for them to be around my family, I write them off as dead, but thats just the way I react, not saying it's right and not saying it's wrong it is what it is.

1. He has no business raising children.

2. If you can't tell the difference when hes using or clean, you're asking to be lied to.

The people in the business of treating addiction will tell you that you can always tell when an addict is lying by whether their lips are moving, if they are, they're lying.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Birds fly. Frogs croak. Addicts lie.

That's my problem. I can't positively tell.

You're asking the question on a message forum. You know in your heart what the answer is.

I agree with the person who suggested Al-Anon. Really. You can only control yourself.

Addicts lie. They just do. It has nothing to do with you.

This is not a person you want to be with. Period. Half-truths aren't good enough. Have some respect for yourself, and find someone who has his head together. You'll be a lot happier.
