The Saga Continues


Hello everyone


First of all, thanks for your support on my last posting.  It helps so much!


So my husband went to the PO and he sent him to an outpatient program for 10-20 days.  He goes M-F 8:00 am-2:30 pm. He came home crying about how am I going to work to support my family?


You should have thought about that before huh?  My MIL told me "I hate to tell you this, but he hides behind you and the kids because the PO doesn't want anything bad to happen to you guys."  So she thinks this is a good thing.


I'm not sure what is going to happen, how we will pay bills, rent, food, etc.  Do you think it is fair to let him deal with figuring it all out? 


I do because it is not like he didn't know what could happen.  And he has been on parole for over two years and he has been just fakin it the whole time.  He's had 5 violations for drugs and is just now getting a PO who is on the ball. Like "Maybe he has a drug problem???????????"  Gee, ya think?  So I'm considering just going on with my plan to go back to school and letting him figure it out this time. 


Thanks you guys for any input


Love ya Julie

Julie,

I think that's a great idea going back to school. Glad that he has a PO who is on the ball. Be good to yourself. You deserve it.

Live strong,
Karilynn

Julie,


Hmmmmmmmm, I am not sure why people have these jobs if they are not going to do them. My "A" has a PO, who he has not been in contact with for almost a year and nothing has happened to him, and he has had some drug and alcohol counselors who have pretty much just sat there and let him do whatever.


Anyway, you do  what you think is best for you. School sounds good.


Much Love,

Let the new PO and your A sort out his issues.  You do something you want to do.  Your are important as well.  LuvLeo x
