[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re making the right choice. One thing you might consider is taking advantage of the addict-repentance stage to get everything documented— he admits to his addiction, admits to endangering the child, admits to illegal behavior, in a way that you can use to achieve full custody. Consult a lawyer (obviously!) but there’s no reason to waste this phase.[/quote]

Waste this phase??  You're disgusting.

As someone who's been working the program for 10 years sober, please do NOT take this pp's advice, OP... that is, unles you want to end up divorced? Because THAT was an extremely manipulative thing to suggest...

I hope you never have mental health or addiction challenges, and have family that are like you & treat you the way you suggest.

If you're trying to help a loved one who's an addict,  you're supposed to demonstrate all of the positive traits that you would like him to work on (such as transparency & honesty) in the hopes that he will begin to emulate you.

What you're NOT supposed to do, is act cold, calculating & untrustworthy, especially while they're looking to you for support & in their most vulnerable state.

NP. It’s great that you have been clean for ten years, but the vast majority of addicts continually relapse.  My dad was an IV drug user who eventually switched to alcohol. He died at 60 of alcohol related issues. He would have been the first to tell you not to waste your life on an addict. OP, sorry you are going through this. [/quote]
