If he ever gets clean and sober, if he works a solid recovery program and remains abstinent for at least two years, if in his recovery he finishes school, finds full-time employment, pays child support, and is consistently kind, responsible, honest, and always sober......then he will be worthy of being your partner in life.
For now, he is a man you adore.....but he is a danger to your life, your children, and your sanity. He is a full-time drug addict. You are a full-time mother. The two do not combine.
He conned you for $40. Please don't pay a higher price for his attention.
