Struggling lately

...See more I was with my boyfriend for about 15 years and we have a 7yr son together. I’ve never struggled with addiction but He’s always had trouble with drugs and alcohol. The last 8 months he got addicted to crack. Then the last 3-4 has been heroin. We broke up about 5 weeks ago. Before that he’d basically dropped his parenting duties. We lived together with his parents in an apartment above them. But about two month ago he stopped living here with us. Wouldn’t come home to sleep. Or get our son on and off the bus. Wouldn’t help out at home. Pretty much disappeared. Would come around every couple days for a bit. Then all of a sudden he decided he didn’t want to be with me anymore and found a new girlfriend that also does heroin. He’s spent basically every waking moment with her and has dropped us completely. Doesn’t live at home with us. He’s homeless. He blames me for “taking fatherhood away” from him because I had to change the locks to the apartment because he was bringing sketchy people in to the house while we were gone and they were bagging drugs and doing drugs in my living room. He says it’s my fault I’m now a single parent. I’ve told him I tired and tried to get him help and try to understand his addiction but I’m limited. Specially when he didn’t want my help. so now I’m raising my son all by myself. Living above his family trying to make it through everyday. And to make things harder his parents have been letting him and his gf sleep out in the camper out front. So when I leave with my son in the morning he sees their car and asks why dads car is there. He hasn’t made time to see him in almost a month but he can show up in the middle of the night and sleep in the camper and hang out in it all day until we leave. It makes me so angry and hurts me so much. I hurt for not just myself but my son. He cries everyday for his dad. He asks why his dad doesn’t love him enough to come see him. And why can’t he just leave his friends to come home. I have no answers. I’m at a loss. I dont know if there’s anyone out there dealing with something like this. But any advice would help
