Sad you do not like the truth

From what you say it's really sad that you display inconsiderate remarks. If it was someone you cared about, you would tell them they're a loser, and abandon them right?
If it was your child, you'd take back every precious happy moment because all of a sudden the truth is they're an addict and you don't like that. Whatever fuck ups you made in life surely define you if this is your line of thinking.

@Starkizzed21: Just letting you know I see the side effects of families who are affected by drug and alcohol abuse - if he was taking drugs before you had children then he was a loser

@nedkelly: wonderful to know you don't have faith in recovery.
My parents lost us to the system for drug and alcohol abuse. I see how people are affected, and you fail to see that out of chaos and darkness comes beauty and light. Side effects are growing stronger, finding supports you didn't know existed, and you have a story to tell that one day might help someone. you know nothing of being an actual addict. Just what follows in their self destruction.

@Starkizzed21: I see the ladies who have supported the husband until they cannot take it any more, they have to walk away

@nedkelly: Ned, I'm so glad I didn't give up on my granddaughter. It would have been much easier to walk away and let her sink or swim on her own. Yes. She was a loser. She lost everything. Her home, her furniture, her kids, even her mother, gave up on her. But she is no longer a loser. She's stronger now. She is an admirable young woman with strong loving kids.

This is the result of her struggling to get healthy for her family. I have no regrets about standing by her.

@Serenitree: She is lucky she has you in her life. Drugs can and do destroy the family life and she is lucky to come out a better person

@nedkelly: ned you are such an asshole. Seriously. Why?
@nedkelly: Mr. Spock (Star Trek) was very logical and intelligent but without emotion or empathy. He was 50% ET ? 8)

@JaggedLittlePill: Well JLP it is like this, I deal with the partners of drug users and try and get them out of the financial mess, the beatings, the lies, and the suffering, I try and help them but good to see you are judgmental as usual

This man is not a loser. He's been my rock, my support, always able to see positive, and I'll stand by his side because I love him and believe in him.

@Starkizzed21: Well the ball is in his court and he needs to show you and the children he is worth loving - just telling you the truth
Serenitree · F
@nedkelly: she expresses the gratitude and love each day. My support helped her, but it was her strength that brought her and her children beck together.

Sometimes losing is what it takes to turn your life around.

Thanks Ned, for hearing me out.

@Starkizzed21: look at the joy in that baby's face. Worth the fight.

When you reach the bottom, the only place left to go is up. Even if you're crawling, you still move forward.
