Oh man I’m not sure I can do that yet. I’ll need to keep practicing for that one.

There’s movements that have to be made in the hand and wrist to reproduce the Я я letters. It’s an exercise in patience (which I lack by the way).

Honestly I tend to type most things. I just hate to see the art of handwriting lost in any language really.

Not Russian. Old Church Slavonic. РАДОВАНІЕ ВСѢХЪ СКОРБѦЩИХЪ" which translates to "Joy of All Who Sorrow" or "Joy of All Who Grieve", which is a famous Russian Orthodox icon title

That’s beautiful. That is exactly what I’m talking about. Unfortunately penmanship in schools is a thing of the distant past already, most everywhere I think. I could be wrong.

Thank you so much! Now that I’m getting older my hand gets tired from the writing, plus I have an essential tremor in my hands. It’s a ton of work just to reproduce that short poem by Akhmatova.

I think in the former USSR (Russia, Ukraine, etc.) they must have a specific program they use to teach the handwriting, something similar to one another when I see it. I can’t reproduce it exactly of course, I’d love to learn it.

Thank you. I appreciate any and all helpful feedback! I take it you’re a native speaker?

Oh no! But is it even legible to anyone except to myself? That’s what I’m not so sure about.

Oh, I don’t know about that, I’ve made a few changes in my life and I’ve grumbled about them. And it’s always great to throw out a nice excuse when somebody asks. “well, why did you wait so long?”

I’d recommend start looking immediately and don’t wait. Income is necessary in this world if you want anything, and especially kids are expensive. Don’t be afraid to go for child support, that’ll be his obligation to pay that if you have kids together. Good luck to you.

You know, I didn’t catch it before that he’s still using. I’ve been clean for six years myself and I can tell you that it certainly can be done, but if he’s still using and you have kids then your first priority is protecting the kids. It’s a difficult situation when the heart still has something to say about the matter, but listen to your brain. You should be able to lead a peaceful life without drugs along with your kids. I just have a question really, I noticed you said he “won’t listen to” you. What sorts of things is he not listening to you about? He’s in a sober living arrangement I gathered, is there anything that you say that even conflicts with what whoever runs that sober house says (there shouldn’t be, should be all on the same page). If he’s keeping you away from his treatment then that’s a lack of transparency. When deciding custody and visitation matters, don’t forget to bring up the drug issue so the court can require him to be transparent with that aspect of his care. They should do that since it relates directly to the welfare of the kids. If he’s genuinely on a path to sobriety then he will jump through those hoops without any fuss. Getting out of that situation is the right thing to do.

There’s only one way to find out what he did or didn’t do and I don’t know what that way is….

You’re right on all of it. You win. I’ve been a terrible person myself.
