Living with an addict is always confusing and unpredictable, take some time for you, go to Florida and enjoy the time with your son, you both deserve a break!
And, this is why I'm currently collecting a few numbers for legal counsel this week. I need to find out about my rights in my state in case he does get another DUI or in case I feel I need to protect myself further financially. I plan on consulting with a lawyer by the end of the week. He may seem like Mr Nice Guy right now but he's still got 11 days of home detention coming up and he knows he's at my mercy and he knows that he can't help me with errands, driving our son to stuff, etc. Once that 11 days is over, I'm wondering who I'm going to be dealing with.
