I share this not to brag, as I struggle every day. I share this to offer hope to those who are struggling with strained relationships. I thought I would have to wait decades to have a healthy relationship with my kids. I was so wrong, thankfully.
The card reads " I know things haven't always been simple or easy but I am so proud of how far you have come, and so grateful to call you my dad❤️"
This is why I stay sober. This is why I endure the pain every day. They are why I embrace the suck.
