Hi..wow, what a story! God bless you, sounds like your child has a great shot at living a decent life. Like yourself, I want the chaos to stop with me, I want my daughter to have a decent chance at life.
I suppose lamenting doesnt help anything, but Im just curious as to what makes people tick. I guess, Im saddened that I didnt have that rosy relationship with my dad.
I am grateful that my dad loves me, for sure. I put him through hell with my active addiction. And now, I am getting a taste of what he went through with my mom slowly killing herself. What a horror show.
Thanks for replying and take care of yourself, one day at a time.
