Nah, I get it.
I'm so happy he's doing well right now. Happy his little girl can see her daddy not looking like death warmed-over.
Yeah, it's still sad, though, when you realize what a waste it all was. Still, if he gets back to his "old self" maybe you will be lucky enough to have a dear, wonderful friend for life who happens to be your daughter's dad. I'm VERY grateful for the terrific friendship I have with my first husband, who has been sober a very long time. He is probably my closest friend in the world, even though he has remarried and we've both gone on with our lives. I love him but I'm not "in love" and it just works for us. Maybe it will for you, too!
Thanks for checking in with the good news!
