Just as an update to all of you that have supported me. Scary and I are doing great!
I have to say I can't even read a X-MAS card without getting teary eyed. This is the 1st CHristmas Scary will spend with our daughter. ~SO SPECIAL~
It is also the 1st Christmas Scary will spend in OUR house together. We have only owned our own home for 3 years, and although he was not locked up for all 3 years, he was for all the Christmas'.
This Christmas is extra special to everyone in our family....
His family keeps sending me cards saying "Glad you guys have your family at Christmas". and "I am so happy that we are all here to share Christmas this year."
Even re-typing it is getting me emotional, this is absolutely hands down the best Christmas present me and my kids have ever gotten.
And as far as he goes.....I think Atlantic County Jail sent home the wrong guy to me. He's doing great.
Even all the haters, that doubted him in the past are absolutely amazed at his turn around~he is drug free, focused, energetic, framily oriented, hard working...
He is amazing, when you live with an addict, all their visions, energy, focus, and responsibility turns to $hit.
But now, he's like a new man. In fact just today....he managed to get out of bed at 8am, after working a 12 hour shift last night and not getting in until 4am, and get our 8 year old and our 2 year old ready for a DR. appointment, took them there, then afterwards went to drop off their presciptions(double ear infections), went food shopping, took both kids to lunch, took them home, handled our 2 year old screaming from the pain she was in, went back to pick up the prescriptions, and gave them both their medicine. He is now waiting for me to come home so he can take a nap before he has to go back to work.
I know to normal everyday people, this is the normal role of a parent. But this is a major thing for him to do all this. This is the same guy that would stroll in when I was getting ready for work, pass out and wake up when I came home at night. He lived and breathed getting high. I know he loved us, but he was unable to care for us the way he should....
Well now he can, and he is doing great and making us very, very happy, and I am so deeply proud of him.
You have to crawl before you walk.......
Thanks everyone for your support......
