That hurt...but in my heart I knew it was what was right for the child, and that was the most important thing of all. I cheer my son's ex for making such a harsh decision. In her case, the courts were not involved, they didn't have to be. She set the rule and we obeyed.

Please do what is right for your children, keep them safe. Everyone else is an adult and can deal with the repercussions.

Hugs, from my heart to yours.

Ann,

Thank you so much for your reply. You were one of the amazing people on this forum that gave me the knowledge I needed to leave my ex. Good for you for supporting that decision, even though it meant losing out on your relationship with your grandchild.

I feel like my attitude has shifted from wanting to keep everyone happy/ giving the addict the benefit of the doubt....to, I don’t really care about anything but the safety/ health of my kids. I feel strong & determined to fight for them no matter what.
