Congratulations. Your kid will cherish their newfound time with the parent you truly are. I find it can be so hard to show your love under the cloud of marijuana dependence.
Showing love when under the influence of THC is not hard. Relearning how to without it is pretty hard. Conversely, you're so much more present as a parent when sober - even if that means you're more serious.
My parents were both incredibly neurotic, anxious people, and it has rubbed off on me. I wonder how I would have grown up if, instead of my mom's gin & tonic & marlboro lights, and my dad's ever present jack daniels & cigars, they had gone with some weed instead. My parents were not alcoholics, but emotionally absent due to anxiety. I really think things would have been much better.
I love your comment and encouragement.
