I’m sorry for your loss Don. I lost my mom when I was 11 and never new my biological father so I can emphasize with you so much. Grief is super hard and everyone handles it differently. I definitely believe in how powerful grief is in failed relationships and loss of childhood from trauma ect. I don’t think were bad people by any means for what we did we were just hurting super bad and unfortunately fell victim to what so many people find instant gratification from. The gambling/ substance industry are designed for people like us. The sole purpose is to profit off peoples pain and emotions. It pisses me off that these things were created by other humans as they sit there and watch it destroy one another. Our world is royally fd up if you ask me. I try not to hold a resentment at these markets/ industries but it’s hard not to feel some anger towards it. Anyways I thankyou for your comment and hope to hear more about your recovery journey. Wishing you and others on here well today.
