[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 639136, member: 17542"] Christian Mom, we usually only find out the tip of the iceberg. Whatever we do learn about, we can assume rightly that there is so much more that we don't know. Addicts and alcoholics lie. It's what they do. I think the lying---even more than the drugs---takes a huge toll on them over time. I believe my ex-husband truly hated himself for his lies by the time he decided to get sober. I agree that it doesn't matter what he did in the past. Assume he did a lot. You don't need to know the details. I used to think if I just knew, then I could do something about it. Nuts! I used to search his room and his car obsessively. Nuts! Today, I just accept that I don't know, and frankly, I don't want to know. I will find out things if and when I need to find out. Until then, I try hard to live my own life. Of course that is much easier to do when difficult child isn't under the same roof! [/QUOTE]
