There's nothing wrong with that. There's no malice in it.
Having been through the whole roller coaster of dealing with an alcoholic "partner," I think it's actually healthy to get a kick out of situations like that.
In some ways, I think enjoying the interesting reactions shows that we've let go of our desperation to be validated and of our expectations of things that we know we won't get from the addict, and are now free to detach and enjoy the humor of what we
do see.
I hope you have enough for full custody, as well. Goodness knows you deserve it!
