I do think its different with kids, everything is, the addicts in our life, trying to save vacation time and caring for pets. I ahve table scraps because you never know how much or how little growing boys are gonna eat. We are all bad with veggies, but for them it amkes it fun to have some and share with the turtles, and templeton (whose not quite sure what to think yet of this table food.)
With my first fiance and (first experience with an addict) I didnt realize completely the isues were addiction-but I sure recognized it from him when I met AH. Walking from him, once I broke free was easier I didnt look back.
