I am detaching from them. I'm not even doing the cops this time. Unfortunately, there are just too many people in our family that are drug users that there is no escape. And yes, pot is a gateway drug and that's a contributor to the relapse for both. Pot is the cool thing now, next will be making heroin legal so cops don't let heroin addicts die in jail. Our society is so pro-drug. It really is.

Anyhow, I spent a good 30 minutes in tears to my Army girl today and she supports my decision to detach. I am putting my house up for sale, buying a newer pool home in a different neighborhood so I can make new memories and start a new life.

I am not a victim.
