Had a good day but turned out not so good tonight.
Bill decided to be cooperative today after I threatened not to pay his bills he has left me unless he starts to answer his phone and get back to me in a timely fashion on only very imprtant matters, kids, money, wood for furnace ect.
He answered his phone and drove all the way to pick my daughter up at college, improvement.
Anyway saw him tonight. HE was driving some nice and expensive vehicle, probably b/c he has no money for gas. When i asked him who it belonged to he said a friend. I should have left it there but I asked "a male or female and he said "a friend. I said " Bill just answere the question straight, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
Anyway what was upseting was he pocket dialed me and like a fool I listened for a bit. he was laughing with friends and went to their home and obviously is getting high b/c he couldn't even bring his daughter phone back she left in his car.
This is so dumb. I am letting him rent space in my head. I am supposed to keep up our home and pay the mortgage and the lawyer wants to request 100 per week for Bill to pay b/c Bill is not working. Well, Bill can get a job. Layer wants to file Bill for disability and of course make a hefty profit.
Why am I letting Bill get me upset? I have been doing so well.

Your right Bill can get a job although many chronic addicts get disability. If he gets disability and you have minor children you will get SS support. I know a woman, she is raising her granddaughter and gets a check from SS because daughter is an addict.
thank you for your support Katrinka. I cant wait for holidays to pass.
Wishing you the best this holiday season also.
