Okay, fine. This is a lot to happen to a person in the space of slightly more than a year.

Oh. Oh he did THAT? 

Do you not think your commentary here is wildly creepy and embarrassing? How can you type this and then not immediately delete it, feeling like a weird slimeball?

Yeah I’m no professional, but the overall impression I get is that substance to which one is addicted is more a symptom of the underlying behavior. Yes, obviously the first imperative is to get the person off of that dangerous substance, but it is just as important to treat the underlying cause, to address the

Wait. Did it say somewhere he's never apologized to his ex?

Or maybe Mulaney's marriage is none of our business?

Christ, you sound like a piece of work. 

Yep nailed it.  Don’t get me wrong, I wish Mulaney nothing but the best.  I wish all sufferers of addiction health and happiness.  But leaping from inpatient treatment for a relapse into fatherhood with a person one has just met is generally not the path to long term stability and sobriety.  It’s replacing one

You have no actual experience or knowledge of his relationship with his ex-wife and commenting on it as you though you know the inner workings is extermely weird behaviour.

It can be an anchor (I’ve seen it happen), but it’s a terrible reason to have a kid.

Congratulations on your recovery!

Yeah, the only thing that worries me is the introduction of a kid into things. A kid ain’t an “anchor” in the sense that many folks think.

I went to rehab for cocaine as well, I’m approaching a year and I’ve basically had to reduce a lot of things in my life that feel like I’m performing for people (work events, stepping down from roles in friends weddings, summer BBQ’s, dates). I can’t imagine being a literal a performer struggling with cocaine abuse.

Yeah, it’s ticking all the boxes. The insistance that she saved her from himself made me cringe. What a weight to out on her! There’s no being saved from addiction, there’s only recovery, and it's forever. 

I think it’s pretty scary how judgmental people get even though aside from the fact that one person filed for divorce, they literally have no idea who did what and how and why.

Either way, there’s a strong likelihood that his issues with booze and drugs have led to things either or both of them would struggle to make their way back from in terms of their relationship.  Maybe a fresh start for both of them is the right thing all round.

Hell, she might have tossed him out.

Sadly, this is 100% textbook behavior of what recovery therapists refer to as “flight to health”. The grandiloquent epiphanies, entering a serious romantic/sexual relationship, the recovering addict impregnates their the partner, and the addict elevating the partner to savior status are all enormous, post-active addict

First, I’m amazed that Dog Haus has expanded so far outside of SoCal.

I don’t know; I’d rather have a hundred grand of his money than sixteen hours of his time.
