I left treatment 2 weeks ago today and will be clean 60 days on Christmas. I came home to live with my parents and my 11 year old daughter.

I am happy and proud to be clean so far, but I don't feel like I have any rights to my life or my daughters' life. I live in fear of losing custody to her father. He is a recovered addict (religious now) and he puts me down and dictates what I can and cannot do as far as the living arrangements with my daughter. I am trying to be patient.

Welcome to SR, messymissy. Glad you're here. :)

Hi Missy! Congradulations on your 60 days almost! That is awesome!

I saw you ask if your doing this right, cause you weren't sure,

Well sweet thing You SURE ARE doin something right!!!!!:slomo:

If you like to read check out the book called Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.
It may help with some of the constant fear and criticism. She
teaches you ways to deal with it when it is thrown at you.

Then there's are beloved Elenor R. who said,

NO ONE can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Look forward to reading more of your posts. :vg
