Way Less Lost!! Pt 4

[Card29]

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress after your H leaves. You have made a ton, and that's with him in and out of your daily life. It's a shame he is abandoning his kids, and maybe it's the rock bottom he needs. But I am confident it's going to be a great thing for you. The alcohol abuse, and especially lying about it, is yet another red flag. There is no repairing a R with someone who is abusing a substance.

Hopefully he never crosses your mind on your bday. Good job planning it so you don't have to cross paths. If he isn't going to have your kids that day, you may even consider blocking his number for 24 hours, just so you don't see any texts or missed calls. If there's an emergency, you'll hear about it from your mom.

And congrats on the win! It must have been an epic day. Our local football team has their biggest home game in years this Saturday. I'm planning a tailgate with friends (grilling, games, drinks in the parking lot) for before the game. I'm curious, are you familiar with the phrase "tailgating"?
