This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm happy to say I'm in a much better place, more stable with the brightest outlook I've had on life in years. Getting divorced from her and her bad choices has sent my life in an upward trajectory. My only lament is that she is a pitiful mother to our son, who deserves so much more than she can offer him.

yeh that's a tough one through no fault of yours or your son's.
only thing you can do is try to get full custody and double down on the love and positive upbringing your kid deserves

I promise, you can do this if you really want it. It's not as easy as that but it is possible. 14 years free of the needle as of last week. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need support or help finding treatment.

that's the problem with addiction though isn't it? if I had a nickel for every time I heard "well if you really wanted to".. then I could probably afford my addiction.
but all things aside. I've gone to treatment. been there done that. I just don't believe in the 12 steps made up by some religious nutjob. might as wel start going to church.
gotta start believing in yourself and that's the real hurdle
