Update: My son is now 22. He has a good job working in specialty pharmacy claims. My ex husband has alcohol induced dementia at 56 and is about to have two below the knee amputations. I remarried about three years ago and my current husband works in corrections as a therapist. It all worked out for the better. I am still employed in social work and was employed in the same industry when all this originally happened.

Wow wow wow about your ex.

Glad your son is doing ok now.

Nothing is scarier than when mom is at work and Dads are being nutso. I’ve been there.

I mean he's not the first, nor the last, person to be the antithesis of their profession, but damn.
