My ex gets out of prison soon and I am unsure if he should be ib our daughters life: Thoughts?

Ok , I lived through this . My children’s bio dad has been in and out of prison since we were 14 … we’re 35 now . I cut him off from the children when they were young, he has a heroin addiction. Do it for her . My 18 year old thanked me for keeping him away and my younger two (teens) understand why and have stated they agreed with my decision. Every situation is different but if he has the in and out of prison trajectory then do yourself and your child a favor and walk . Saves heartache in the end. Good luck momma ! You’ve got this
