Hi X!
It seems to me, after reading these boards for some time....there are many folks with what is known as "Dual Diagnosis". In other words, they suffer from addiction but also something else like depression, anxiety..... I don't think it is a 100% correlation, though.
I hope your ex will someday get the help he truly needs.
I'm sooooo glad you and your daughter are having such fun! Enjoy the giggles!!
Hugs, HG
