 Heather -I so have had the same thing -over and over for the past almost 2 yrs. People in my life are sick of hearing about it -and it sucks b/c there are days when you just need to talk about it -vent-cry-get it out!! I had a day like that today. My ex's best friend called me to tell me that he saw my ex for the first time in a month -ex tried to tell him that 'I'm back! I'm never gonna do that shit again" raw raw raw -the next night called his friend to tell him about how people are watching him and following him through the internet -conspiracy theory-back to his parinoid thinking! I wanted to cry my heart out. I was positive he was using again -but this just solidified it and it hurt me all over again -for him, for me, for my daughter. The thing is -I don't think they don't love their children -I think they do -they just don't love themselves enough to show that love or to be there for their children and the addiction takes over and they are are completely different person than they would be without the drugs/alcohol etc. I wish I could get to the point of not caring,not worry, not think about it every single day. I am not there yet though....
P.S. I met with a therapist last week about how to tell my daughter about her dad's drug use. I will post what he told me so other's can know and possibly learn what he told me.
Keep in touch!
