JA0371 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hey guys....things are back on track with my BF. He's out of state right ow and I'll be visiting him in 10 days. My issue is not really MY issue...it's something he is dealing with and I just want to make him feel better about it. My BF was married..and has kids with his ex wife. His ex wife has a history of pill abuse, and was arrested a couple years ago, after being involved in an accident while under the influence. She lost her license. The thing is they have a 21 year old daughter who seems to be following in moms footsteps. She lives with her mom...and recently spent over a year in jail...for pill related issues. They have a 16 year old daughter who elected to stay with him, when he is not on the road...namely because he is the more stable of the two parents. However about a month ago she was hanging with the 'wrong' crowd, one of her friends had an open container and weed on him when she was pulled over. She got a year probation...and lost her license for at least 90 days. So..as my bf says he has 'three women with my last name, who have been in trouble with the law and have no license.' Needless to say..it has him stressed because he is feeling like somehow it's HiS fault. By the way my bf is NOT a drug user. He has to be clean because his job requires a hazmat license and he's always drug tested. Anyway..,I guess my question is...how do I support him? I want him to know he is a good dad (and he is) and that this is NOT his fault. I know his ex wife is culpable in all this...but I don't want to ex wife bash. Thanks guys...
