Hi Mell,

sorry to hear of your situation,

It’s so utterly frustrating, and no one who hasn’t been with a partner with an addiction can really understand it.

feel for you on the kids front, the feeling that she turned the kids against me, and how utterly blind they are to what’s really going on is the part I am finding hardest to deal with, they aren’t my kids, but even so, I’m a very loyal person, so to think that I could selflessly be there for them for 7 years to be sold out so easily in return is very upsetting to me.

Is your partner the dad of your kids,

and does he admit he has a problem or is he still in complete denial?
