So your mother stuck by you through it all? That's wonderful. I'm trying to stick by my oldest daughter but some days, like today, when the fallout from her 28 years of addiction is directly related to my broken heart, I feel anger towards her. She did not know, nor cause the family dynamics to go askew on purpose, but it still did. I am so thrilled to hear how you have grown from your addiction to who you are today regardless of methadone treatment. It's still better than full-blown addiction and you are wise to guard yourself until you are ready. I am so sorry about your fiance. It's very nice to get to know you, Monica.
