Physically sober is good and all, but real change and sobriety happens mentally too. Not just physically. Some take longer than others to make the mental connection to sobriety not just the physical. I was sober for 6 months before I mentally WANTED to stay sober, then it took almost a year for my brain to heal from my addiction. Addiction often is caused by mental illness, in effort to self medicate. So without the drugs or alcohol to cope with my mental illness, it took me a long time to cope with it without the source of my addiction. He may need more time to get himself together. He didn’t become addicted overnight, and he won’t recover overnight either. I’m not saying put up with his toxicity, but try to understand it.

He struggling to stay sober. He going cold turkey. You just need keep praying…pray with him. Eventually you can be his go to. Never judge him if he is wanting to relapse.

As a recovering addict, I can say, if you don’t identify and address the issues that caused you to use and find a healthier way to cope, your chances of staying clean are pretty low. It sounds to me like this maybe what he’s struggling with. Either way, protect you. Your mental health should come first. Nothing you do will help him stay clean unless he wants it for himself.

You never take some ass hat back 3 times . Got rid of my ass hat over 20 years ago and happy ever since . He is a boy not a man . Get healthy first so you will not allow yourself a repeat offender or you become the repeat offender of the same type . It’s called dating for a long time not a minute .
Just because someone is sober, doesn’t mean they’ve done any inner work other than stop using. Real change happens when the realization that inner work is necessary, and there’s action taken to change behaviors.
You did the right thing.

It’s great if he is sober and clean22 months, but he needs to realize the prize isn’t getting to walk on you. Sometimes you have to let the past go and rebuild the future.

Maybe he needs counseling with trying to handle life sober is hard for someone who’s never been sober. Maybe you should talk to him. Not saying its right how he treats you but addiction is a hard thing to fight.

Sounds like he’s still acting the same because maybe he’s depressed and the issues were not resolved by getting sober also drugs/alcohol affect the chemical make up of your body and he may need medication, therapy or both. Everyone saying leave I don’t necessarily agree with because we don’t have enough information to make that determination plus that’s not the first thing you go to and if someone fought to get clean and had been for 22 month you’d just leave them in the dust to relapse? Not saying you need to be walked on either but Communicate goes a long way and maybe therapy together. You mentioned work and really didn’t understand that part but if he’s having trouble finding work then maybe he is feeling like a failure and old thoughts are creeping in and this is the time support is needed. I have been sober for 11 years and the first few years were still rough as I had to learn how to be myself again, no one becomes a addict overnight and it took a lot of therapy, medication, journaling, self love and so much more to finally recognize myself and be happy again even after being sober.
It’s obvious yall are just not meant to be. Move on. Dont have to ‘stay together for the kids’.
How sad that when things are rough, everyone tells you too leave! I suggest counseling for you both. He is fighting a very dark demons. Drinking and drugs are not the easiest to beat. It can be a life long battle. If you both live each other, then keep up the fight. Sometimes bad habits can look totally different when sober. 22 months is something to be very proud of, and the 12 steps to sobriety isn’t easy.
I would want to know too… I think you did the right thing. Better late than never, right?

Keep it to yourself? Hell no! I’d want to know if I was with a damn liar and cheater. It’s 2022 women should be stronger than putting up with that shit because we got kids by them. She didn’t break up a home or a family that was broken long ago when he decided to step out in his wife and cheat. I’d rather know and not look like an idiot. Not only that but those children deserve to know they have siblings…1 year 20 years it doesn’t matter you felt in your heart it was the right thing to do and that’s all that matters not an opinion from people who don’t have to live your life. You did a difficult thing and now at least the children involved know they have other siblings and that could be the beginning of a beautiful bond between them.
Ya’ll really? it would have come out eventually. Why should a man that won’t take responsibility for his child get to live a life unbothered. Im sorry but if it were my husband I would want to know. There’s no sweeping stuff under the rug in marriage.

Not your fault . If you didn’t know.
The negativity is so strong with this group lately, haterade is being brewed so strongly. There is no B.O.D to be found anywhere…
Maybe her son did have questions and obviously isn’t old enough to seek his father out on his own…
Mom did reach out and was ignored by family and the baby’s father…
Maybe she just found out the the friend did the paternity test…
Lots of things are unknown here, why is everyone cutting this woman down?
My mother and father were married and divorced by the time I was 4 years old, they both remarried, my dad had other children and I grew up with so many questions. If I had to reason why mom did this it was for the benefit of her child, to some degree… Compassion costs nothing people…

I’ve been through 3 paternity test and I don’t see how the scenario that a friend took the paternity test worked. If the test was conducted through the state the person submitting to the test had to provide ID and a social security number to confirm his identity. I don’t see how a friend could have taken it for him.

Though I agree yo u should have said something sooner, it was his place to tell his wife and he didn’t and just because you don’t want anything to do with a child because decided to step out on your wife he still has to take responsibility oh damn well she shouldn’t have had to go 11years without him being a father he made a bed he need to lay in it.So no you are not wrong for telling her because he should have been man enough to do it a long time ago.

Some of you women astound me😦 I think some of you ladies got your own issues reflecting here and should get some counseling.
You didn’t ruin anyone’s life, he did that 11 years ago, ruining multiple lives. Yours, your son’s, the wife, kids, and his own. Whether he wants to be apart of your son’s life or not, his siblings have rights as human beings too. His wife has a right to know… Y’all talking about breaking up a family, family already broken riddled with lies I’m sure. I’d rather know the truth, then be fooled and unaware. I wouldn’t have waited 11 years to bring the dark to light tho… But either way as a mother you’re always going to want to do what you think is right for them. I spare no one when it comes to MY babies.

Should have told this asshole that he had 30 days after the child was born to step up and care for the child or you would take him to court.
If he didn’t step up then you should have taken him to court.

why did you have to reach out? Maybe I missed that part and you had a good reason. If it was simply so he would acknowledge the kid…you choose to keep the child and raise it on your own…he should be paying child support but beyond that you made your choice nwo you destroyed a family, not by your child’s existence, but by going from I’m raising him alone to contacting his bio father’s wife of all people! You made a choice 11 years ago to go it alone NOW you destroyed a woman’s life who did nothing to you adn likely hurt your son.

For all of you saying oh well 11 yrs too late, are you all perfect? Know what she was likely doing 11 yrs ago? Preparing for a baby while likely working! Trying to put together a crib. After all this time? Yeah cause she’s been doing the job of 2 parents, that tends to make ya a little busy.
And why is she reaching out on behalf of her child you ask? Well he’s 11, probably asking questions, maybe it’s a medical reasoning even.
Some if you are some mean girls for sure.

You know where your intentions were. If you truly did it for your child who deserves everything and as a mom you deserve to fight for it, then just let it be. The only judge is the one above and no man deserves to get away with it nor does a woman deserve to put up with it on either end. But if your intentions were to “get at him” and knowingly didn’t care what it did to the family…. That’s on your conscience. Hope it works out for all.

Unless you knew this man was married when you slept with him, you have nothing to feel sorry for. The only thing I don’t understand is why you waited 11 years to do it. That was not only 11 years of , at the very least, financial support, but also 11 years that you’ve had to live with this while he went on with his life like you and his son didn’t exist. Not to mention 11 years of siblings missing out on one another. When it comes down to it though, you, his wife and his children are the victims in this situation.

I know that was hard proud of you for the courage it took to tell her I would want to know and she is hurting for sure but also she is now woke to his bullshit I’m sure he’s given her countless other reasons to be suspicious so now she knows she can act accordingly

Why tell her after 11 years ? He made it plain he wanted no role in your sons life and you accepted that. I honestly see no point in telling her after all this time.
The right time would have been 11 years ago when your child was born and you were seeking support from the father.
Only other reason would have been medical history or medical emergency he was needed to deal with .

Maybe if the whole thing was read people would see she didn’t know this prick was married, and she tried for 11 years to get said prick, and his asshole family, to acknowledge her son. Oh and that he has SOMEONE else show up for DNA. It happens more than people realize. Damn.
For everyone asking “why wait so long” for all we know the woman was doing perfectly fine taking care of the child herself and didn’t want to bother, maybe gained some issues with her health and needs help now and didn’t wanna take it through court, which I think would be worse for the wife to be dragged through. Or maybe the kid is asking about who the dad is/ if they can meet him?

So question I have is why did u wait so long but at the same point in time this is the shittiest of situations to be in. For all of those criticizing her for reaching out to the wife now, leave her be. Coming from someone who has a half sibling and found out 11 years later that he was not fully my brother let me tell you something. No matter when you hear this news it is devastating. But it’s very real n it isn’t the mistresses child’s fault. They deserve to know. So despite how long it took, the truth needed to come out.

I’m not sure why people are so disapproving of you reaching out. Yes, 11 years is a long time. That doesn’t change the fact that your son deserves (at the very least) financial support from his father and hopefully a full on relationship with that side of the family. It doesn’t change the fact that he cheated on his wife, and she deserves to know. Pure intentions or not, what’s done in the dark always comes to light.
