I agree Trailmix. It’s sad his family are so dysfunctional they cannot see the wood from the trees and have always felt comfortable blaming me for his behaviour rather than looking in the mirror and allowing him to take responsibility for his own actions.
All my dreams and wants for our future were crushed long ago when I was pregnant and he ramped up his drug use rather than sort it out. He begged me for a child and I wanted my son also and promised he would be supportive and a great parent. Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing...
I accepted this would never be the case pretty quickly but it still hurts and this has brought all the wounds to the surface again.
