Hi Karrets, I just want to let you know that you are not alone.
I do urge you to please let him go. I only say this from my own experience, because...
I let my x come back into my life after a stint in jail, he seemed to have made progress and I finally thought he got it.
About two weeks in he stole my debit card and took the max amount the atm would allow. I know for certain he would have wiped me out given the chance.
I could not kick myself hard enough for seeing him again and jumping back on the merry-go-round.
He is now in jail again, on retail theft charges, this is a new one. He has not changed, every BS letter and email he sent was complete and utter hogwash.
I honestly don't believe he ever will change.
I know some do and I don't want to discount that
but I think deep in our heart and soul we can tell the ones that just don't want to come clean.
