This made me cry. I can't believe everything you have survived. You are a kind hearted soul that got a dealt a terrible hand. I'm delighted to hear that you are recovering and living the dream of family and life. There is nothing more precious.
I have a 32 year old son struggling with alcohol. And coincidentally he lives in Maine. But, he has family up there on his narcissistic sociopath's father's side. But, we have a great relationship and he can call me day or night to talk.
Take care.
I think that's what matters the most, that he can call you day or night to call you. I wish you all the best!
And to Joshua I have to say that life can grant second and third chances, sorry to read this, and I really wish you a lot of good moments to come, good luck and stay healthy!
