Departure Process

I have started my departure process. I am staying at my sis-in-law who also has detached herself from her brother for the weekend, and will be staying at an apartment starting Monday. He now knows that I no longer want to be a part of his addiction and will not enable it, so guess what? he's calling and calling trying to manipulate that I'm the one who's doing drugs, and having an affair. LOL!! if he's only sober enough for him to know the love i have for him and the strength that I am gaining by seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I told him once before, I am no longer going to be manipulated and lied to. He crossed that line, and now I am walking away, no fears just all strength from the Almighty One. Until he admits and seeks help, I will not be around. Please continue to pray for me to stay strong for my daughter and I.

What good can become of exposing a young child to someone in active addiction?

Moving out because you place a higher value on your own and your child's physical and emotional safety is a healthy begining of a boundary.

Letting go of the outcome is the next phase.

I told him I'm not coming home

He doesn't even seem to care! He hasn't called his father, he doesn't care! I feel so sad, weak, but at the same time I know that this is part of the process. I just wish he would wake up on his own, and I need to be just strong. My daughter asks for daddy every time we are going to places, asking if daddy will be there, and this is the most difficult. He feels I have turned his entire family against him. Ugh...i'm just being sappy because it's valentines.
