My ex is still on the psych ward he asks continually for crack or a small wrap of heroin to smoke to take the edge off

It’s who he became – who he was

A crackhead

Sounds horrible but it was part of his life for 20 years that’s a massive thing to leave behind

It rewires the brain

This was a man who had his own company a family and once a very bright future

But if he was released the first thing he would do is score

It’s taken a long year of grieving to reach a point where he no longer controls my emotions

Having him out of my life is the best thing that ever happened to me

He lied

He manipulated

He cheated (multiple times)

He almost destroyed me

This was the man who told me I was the love of his life

You need distance and time to be free of them and move on
