Good morning Kumaran_63 :) I do have faith. I've been praying for him and praying for me and my kids. My kids do care alot about him. And he has always been good to them. As I had mentioned one of the things I really admired about him was that he did treat the kids as if they were his. Even their real father, who lives locally here, hasn't seen them in years. He never smoked weed around them or brought it to our home. It was always at his friend's house or his brother's house. His brother is moving to Ohio. Thank God!

My boyfriend had asked me to marry him in December, but we had been waiting to save enough money. Now I know that it wouldn't be a good idea, unless he improves himself. I do have pure love for him, which not all people can say they have or have ever received. I love him with all my heart and that is why I haven't given up on him. I dropped him off at the live-in treatment recovery program this last Thursday morning. He had his suitcase and gave me a big hug, as tears filled his eyes. I felt bad because I know a year is a long time, but I know it's for the best. And they said that the program is in steps so that if he get's better sooner then he may leave sooner. He's making a big step for his life and ours. He said he's doing it for me and the kids because he loves us and we're the only good things in his life and he doesn't want to lose us. I believe in God and his mercy and his power to heal. So thanks again to all of you that had kind, good, caring words to say. Thank you for your advice and letting me know of the things I should consider and think about.

May God bless your lives.
