It actually would have worked out for me had i left my ex before he left me.
Thats because he was secretly building up debt and withdrawing tons of money for years.
So had i been the one to leave earlier, my life would definitively be no worse.
Theres a possibility it could be better
1. I would have been receiving his child support.
2. I would have known, and made different financial decisions.
3. I would have been younger. Would have had the opportunity to have another child with someone new.
4. My son wpuld bond with a step dad at a younger age.
Had we reconciled. If Dbing worked for me
1. I would have been exposed and could have possibly contracted some serious diseases.
2. My son could have found and injested carelessly misplaced drugs if ex decompensated (that almost happened with that persons grandchild i wrote about in an earlier post)
