Go back to middle school and get a job that should be a good start :)

Just tell him daddy died or the truth, besides a father like that would just hurt the child later.

When a person shows you who they really are...listen. obviously, he is not going to change anytime soon. you can't risk your kids for the sake of his bad decisions. maybe you should separate and tell him he has a certain amount of time to TRULY become drug free before you file for divorce. if he values your relationship and his kids then he will change. unfortunately, most of the time people will not change until they hit rock bottom. if you continue to accept his mistakes he will never realize he is doing wrong. and he will continue to make the same choices my mom gave my dad years of chances...i wish she would have left him before we knew who he really was, and realized that drugs were more important than us 3 kids and my mom. unfortunately, he is JUST now (at 50+ yrs) realizing that he made mistakes...my siblings and i are already grown. it's a heartache that no child should have to live with .

Depends on what kind of life you want for your children and yourself. You mentioned, should you give him one more last chance for your boys sake. Think about this, what good is he doing your boys if he is in and out of jail, does not have the self control to walk away from his "old contacts ", and is spending money your family could probably use on drugs? Get a life for you and your kids, Walk Away!

One final chance for the sake of the child. and let him know in no uncertain terms. no ifs or buts.
