Hey, you have EVERY RIGHT to think that something that looks like a duck and quacks is a duck, this time it just happened to be a duck call instead of the actual duck.

Trying to figure out truth from lies is not going to be 100% all the time (addicts get good at what they do) and it makes you crazy. Go easy on yourself. This is NOT your fault.
Is it being "quick to blame" or trying hard to protect you and your daughters when your not exactly sure where the hit is coming from or when.
Whether she had the rings or not, is not to say if he is using or not. Trust your gut.
