Sometimes it is yes. I’m still tarred with that brush of being a drug user and having abusive treats. Which they was mentally I guess…
The hardest bit was forgiving and letting go. Also forgiving myself especially while she hasn’t so it took a bit longer but then you accept some things can’t be changed. That’s as the hard bit and for her to hate me like she feels she has too she has to still tar me with that brush… She admitted that at court. In the end i got what I wanted and things are working for the kids now which is good but we barely speak.
I had to get a child arrangement order and court went well especially when I could prove I was clean.
I’m actually starting a social worker course in September and maybe I’ll be help people like myself and give something back.
