I'm sorry you see it that way gamommy...really I am.

If you have read my profile I have been graced with a few days of sobriety. One of the most difficult aspects of long term sobriety are the many funerals I attend. There are simply far more victims of addiction then there are miracles...I wish with all my heart that the reality was different but it is simply not.

So,,when I work with familes of the addicted, I give them the Truth,,,not some silly dressed up version of what they might wish to hear. I have seen miracles,,many of them and am astonished, gratefull and re-energized each time...but then the reality of addiction strikes me again as I attend the finality of someone who has left a family angry and bewildered...

I am sorry if I seem insensitive,,,but in this case,,as in many that I have been involved with that include children,,,please put them and you on the top of any list of considerations...believe it or not that is the greatest gift you can give him...

IMHO.
