[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 450477, member: 84"] I'm also one who is glad he's sitting in jail. One he's safe, two it's high time he face some consequences for his behavior. I hope no one bails him out. I hope they hold him for quite a long time. It gives you time to get your thoughts and emotions under control without him harassing you to death. Be prepared for him to play the sympathy card, for threats of suicide, what have you. Odds are he's going to pull out all the stuff that has worked before to wear you down, including guilt trips over spending time with the kids. He's quite the manipulator, but then addicts learn that behavior fast. If you prepare for it, you'll be better able to handle it if he tries it. The kids should not be around him unsupervised (at the very least) until he has been clean and sober for a long period of time proven by consistent drug testing. I can't stress this enough. They don't need to be exposed to him either High or strung out. Not fair to them, and can even be dangerous to them mentally and emotionally. I died a little inside when I found out bff reeled in her teen nephews into using, then her 12 yr old son, both to justify the behavior and to have someone to share the cost and needles with. omg And at this point, heaven only knows if she did the same with her 8 yr old. The bff I knew before the heroine took over would have died first. Thinking of you and praying for you and the whole family. You didn't fail, he did. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
