[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 633393, member: 18271"] I know that he has, in the past smoke weed. I do not know about any other types of drugs. Due to my job (blessing in disguise right now, as tired as I am of travelling) I don't see him much. Matter of fact, before the stealing last week- I only really SAW him when he needed something. It sounds martyr-ish (and I swear I try to not let it sound that way)- but I tried so hard to make it easier to get on his feet. I am realizing that all that did was make this all worse. I worry more about my daughter than anything- he has a skewed perception that she 'gets more' (which isn't true) and she is the 'favorite' -and I don't want him to do anything TO HER or HER stuff. We've (she and I) have discussed moving away together and planting new roots. Why should we have to run from him? it's so unfair (I realize nothing is fair)....but it's just so frustrating to me right now. I can say, in all honesty, that any and all crying I've done in the last 4-5 years? All over him. I promise that I lose more sleep than he does. I used to say that he should be a lawyer, because he would badger and bed and threaten and cajole so much that an opposing attorney would just give whatever he wanted to shut him up. Getting him through school was a nightmare and there is no money in the world anyone could ever give me to do that again. Do these types- antisocial (if that is what he is, and I think he is)- get better? Is there a chance for them? Lack of a conscience or empathy of others- I guess that's just what he'll be? Thankfully, he has no kids. I hope, if this is who he will always be, that he never has children. [/QUOTE]
