Jay,

I don't remember alot either. But I don't have bad feelings. My mother was great at hiding my father's "problem" which was alcoholic/womanizer. They did not fight. He worked nights as a bartender so not having him home was normal. I had what I considered to be a normal, albeit poor, childhood.

When they divorced I was 16 (nice age for a budding drama queen) and I was shocked and angry. My mother had done her job well. I had no clue...or chose not to see it by then. She sat me down and told me a bunch of stuff. It was a true Hallmark moment.

That is when I began my own drug and alcohol use. Rebellion? Probably. I met and married my 1st husband not long after that...predictably an alcoholic.

That list stunned me too when I found it. And MG's post. I am not easily stunned anymore.

Who is Bobby Earl?

Hugs,
JT
