Now go away or I will taunt you a second time

I agree Job. We are quite a ways from reconciliation, or even a point where he'd be a regular fixture in the kids' lives.

I'm still going to enjoy today though. It's been a really long time since he had 30 days clean.

I guess, from my perspective, the things he thought would make him happy... drugs, OW, life free of kids and other responsibility proved to be as empty as we all know they are. And, now, he sees his family getting back to loving life. There ain't no such think as a happy drug addict/MLC-er. I'd like to think it's not so much he wants to ride our coattails, but more like we've created something worth working toward.
