10 years ago, he walked away from the boys and me. An alcoholic, a moderate drug user, a lost soul.
He has overdosed twice. Been arrested over and over. Lost visitation with his children.
Every night, I sleep with my phone, waiting for his family to call me about his demise.

Filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To those jukebox bars you frequent
They're the safest place to hide

Forever and ever. But that's what true love is.
The boys haven't seen him since. Our youngest was 4 months old.
It was truly them or him. As a mother, I chose them.
@Nichole765 Addictive personalities get hung up in a "Loop" of self destruction,crying for help,but seems they dry out,and the call of the drugs and alcohol brings them back. My 50 year old stepson is that way,I moved away with not leaving where I am,he's used about ever street drug there is, a total wast of a life...
@Nichole765 Children seem to want to bring the Parents back together,I hope your kids in later life appreciate your sacrifices.
@Mike1947 I hope he is still alive when they are grown. Right now, they don't know the man I fell for and that's a shame.
@Nichole765 The old saying "Love is blind" Your love and marriage,,were not strong enough for him to resist the drugs and alcohol,I hope your Sons when they marry,do not repeat this horrible abuse of their wives....
