Two New Addiction Forums

[Med Help]

Hi,

We're pleased to announce the opening of two new addiction related forums - Alcoholism (Alcohol Addiction) and Smoking Addiction. Please note these are unmoderated forums. The forums are located at:

Alcoholism - http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/158
Smoking Addiction - http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/159

They are also on the left hand navigation.

Thank you for the suggestions for these, and we hope to see these as successful as the current Addiction forums.

Sometimes when people deny a problem, they get very deffensive about it. The fact he hasn't called or showed up probably has nothing to do with his daughter, but his "revenge" to you for kicking him out. Try giving him a call. Tell him you love him, that you are only trying to do what is best for you and your daughter... you have a kid now, and she is #1 priority. Tell  him you would like to work things out, but he has to be willing to be a dad and a husband now. I have learned that some people dont respond to tough love... it can make things work. Don't baby him, but lay it out for him. Remember, guys dont think like us ;)  I hope everything works out, and keep fighting for you and your baby!!!
