Thats what addict do. They suck you in. The addiction is in control. Is this any different than the first time?
A chance to for the boys to have a mom and a dad and to just have a normal family...of course.
Yes - it is much different than the first time. He holds a job, does not run the streets, is a father to the boys - very involved with their school work, etc.
It was not a bed of roses on my own - everything was
not good just as now everything is
not bad. It's just a different set of difficulties perhaps more intense than being a single mom. He keeps saying to please give him time - that this is a process for him...Maybe I should ask him how much time. I know I sound like a victim - but I don't want to be - I just want a healthy normal family.
