I'm gonna be hard on you OP , take this as a wake-up call , not as a diss.
Ok so she cheated on you , she doesnt wanna work and she does drugs. Dude...bluntly:
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE LIKE THAT IN YOUR LIFE ?
You were a VIRGIN before you met her. You say you connect with her ? thats bullshit. You say that because you didnt connect with anyone before her. What you are experiencing here is a very closed-minded vision.You think you're doing good with her because you probably dont have too much ground to compare to ! Understand this , it is very important that you do.

I know I need to man up, get in shape, not be jealous, clingy, be laid back and relaxed and this is who I am going to be from now on but its too late??
And yes , do this , for your own good in the future.
Its never too late, it's not too late even with her. But TRUST me , and I mean it man , trust me , you DO NOT want her. I mean , come on ? She cheated on you , wont work , and has a kid at 21. AND does drugs. I seriously dont even know which of these things are worse.
About jealousy , possesivity and whatnot. This is never good.Nothing , and I mean nothing good ever comes out of it. Learn to trust people. If they betray your trust , fuck them , its their loss.
At any rate, no matter how fucked up you might think you are (which you probably even aren't) , ask yourself this. "Do I want a druggie , cheating , refusing to work , mother of a child (at 21) in my life ?"
And as a bottom line , this is my advice to you:
It's better to be alone by yourself than to be alone while being with someone. I hope you understand this.
