My reason is that I love him and I'm not ready to give up on him just yet...

I say yet because I do not know what the future will hold... One day the pain of staying may outweigh the pain of leaving and leaving him will be my better option.

Im treating my relationship with my AH just like I do everything else in life these days... one day at a time..

Love for my AS and hope that he will change.

I love my daughter and know that this is a disease. She would have never picked this life for herself. Also I remind myself that addiction is not personal. Hugs, Marle

My AS is just 16 and also has other medical problems so there really is no choice but to go through this with him. i'm sure when he is older i will be able to detach more but with a child its hard to ever detach completely.

I don't really have an excuse, but the closest thing is the way i feel when i don't have him on the end of the phone. It's like a loss. even when i throw myself into other things i don't have the want or energy to do it unless i know he's still around in my life. AWFUL!!
I'm trying to work on me and my detatchment, which is hard when all i want is a normal boyfriend. *rolls eyes*

I loved my AS more than life itself he was a piece of me I carried him for 9 months and loved him before he was born. Today I still love him even though he is dead I am glad his pain is over the grip drugs had on his soul. Thats why!
Love ya,
Maggie
