mighty_thor 115 Posted September 6, 2007 but the deal is, it's really not that persistent. it's friday night playing cards at the FIL's, after the kids are put to bed. My wife doesn't talk about my drinking, because it's not an issue in the house. Seriously. I don't just grab a beer or two every night, it's like once a week and the kids aren't around. But I guess I am going to hell if you all have anything to say about it at least. It wouldn't be a problem if you had a beer or two every night. But getting DRUNK every week and being a dad is a problem. You know how sometimes you come home and are surprised by something your daughter says? You know why you are surprised? Because kids are more perceptive than we realize. They see and hear everything and it all has an effect. "Mommy what's that strange noise coming from the bathroom?" "Oh, thats just daddy puking his drunkin guts out again." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SigEp316 0 Posted September 6, 2007 what a woman you are.... I'm not reading this whole train wreck, but from what I've gathered, you miss your Dad and brother....yet your on the same track as your brother. You're a selfish, ingnorant, pr!ck that hasn't learned from the death of a loved one. You have family that depends on you and you still wreck yourself and hurt them. Do us and them a favor and chase your next binge with a bottle of oxi-contin. Loser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 6,797 Posted September 6, 2007 It wouldn't be a problem if you had a beer or two every night. I often have a glass or two of wine at night. I don't think it hurts kids to see responsible drinking. May actually help in some ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stop talking cheerleader 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Yea, I'm not going to read this thread because everyone always tries to come off as relationship experts and act superior and flawless. None the less, we all screw up, get drunk at times, get too emotional and let our feelings get the best of us. I've met you and your wife, just remember what is important to you and remember you still have people in your life that love you. I've gotten drunk and blacked out quite a few times in my life, and sometimes that leads to an emotional crying STC getting mad at the SO for no reason...and vice versa except for the crying thing. Venting is good, just work on venting in a healthy way and limit your drinking so you know when to stop before getting smashed. We all do stupid things, it doesn't reflect poorly on your character if you change yourself for the better and learn from your mistakes.

Brown Eyed Girl 1 Posted September 6, 2007 It's not like I don't want to talk about it or want to bottle all of it up, but when I try it just hurts too much and I literally can't talk about it. Plus it's the same ol stuff that I have no control over. Someday I'll be dead, and then hopefully I'll be back with my brother and dad as well as my wife and kids and mom. There's nothing I can do in the meantime that is going to give me what I want. Nothing is going to bring us all back together. And no "specialist" I can go talk to is going to be able to help me in dealing with all of these issues, no matter what they say or tell me. They don't have a fix or an answer. Seeking the help of a therapist isn't always an easy thing to do. A lot of times our pride gets in the way or we feel like we are failures if we can't just get through or past something on our own. All I'd like to say is don't underestimate what a 'good' therapist can do for you. You're right, he or she will not bring back your deceased loved ones, cmh... but if you are open enough to allow them to, they will at least help you deal with this immense loss you are feeling in your life since they've been gone. Also, you have admitted that you are depressed. Depression isn't anything to play around with. It should be taken seriously and treated before it escalates into something much deeper. I think you'd be surprised at how good you could feel having someone to discuss all of this with - someone who can provide honest, helpful coping solutions that can make a significant difference in how you feel inside. Just a thought. Good luck with whatever you decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADD1CT36 1 Posted September 6, 2007 getting professional help isnt always the answer, but chances are it can do some good. a therapist or counselor is really two things for you - a fresh set of ears, who doesnt take anything you say personally and isnt directly affected by whatever you do - and a fresh perspective, someone who isnt involved and can come to your issues with no expectations or prejudices. the problem with unloading on people you care about and who care about you is it's unpossible to spearate our emotions and be rational about it and let things slide. and your loved ones will always try to "fix" you and will get frustrated when they cant help. not that you have to pretend everything is ok all the time, but realize that if they really are that important to you, you have to put some effort into protecting their feelings. maybe you should keep a journal - like the stuff you wrote here, put in an email to yourself or something. that always helps me to write sh`t out. and it also helps to re-read it like a year later and see how you feel about it. probably my favorite phrase ever is "this too shall pass" - keeping a journal has been my reminder of that so many times. anyway, i do wish you good luck honestly.

Yes this situation was bad...cr@p happens and one incident does not make him a bad father. Ah, yes... and "after his kids are in bed" and there is an emergency of some sort, and Johnny McSchnockered is all focked up on booze - there is no risk there. He's been drinking like a focking slob for a long, long time now, watched helplessly as his family member(s) drank themselves into an early grave, and comes here to cry "pity party" after unloading on his wife in a drunken-stupor which he can't even remember. Wake the fock up, STC. Some of us are being dickholes because we'd be interested in seeing him stop and "touchy-feely" doesn't work with him. Of course, neither does being a dickbag, but at least we get some enjoyment out of trying to wake him up. Hopefully, he has a nice fat life-insurance policy so at least the family is taken care of while he is distilling six-feet-under in an oak box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've done it probably 3 times (between the ages of 19-21). Shots and hard liquar did it for me...I tried "hanging" with the guys drinking wise and soon learned that was a bad idea.

Okay, well I'll consider that maybe your "perspective" is a little "off." In case you missed it: - CMH is not "19-21 and blowing off some steam." - CMH does have kids. - CMH does have a spouse. - CMH drinks way too much, always drinks way too much, and is pushing 50.
