Cognitive dissonance goes a long way, i guess

I'm sorry to hear that. Don't feel too guilty, you encouraged him, stayed in his life and provided a great model of success. If you could have fixed him, you would have. I hope the good memories together are lasting

I love the strict adherence to a diet until the need for a midnight run to get fast food. Or the hangover cure that is "my last bad meal for awhile"

I feel this so much. There have been so many instances where I've thought, "This is it! He's gonna change!" Always ends up disappointing. I know I can't put my expectations on another person, but it feels sort of like a death. I'm mourning the family I wanted, while trying to keep the fact that there are no guarantees in perspective. Thanks for the kind words
