Happy? Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. What kind of 'father' do you think he'll be to those kids, honestly?
What kind of partner do you think he will be to her?
Alcoholics live on the have 'fun now, pay later' plan.
I've yet to see an alcoholic progress in his/her disease (and it IS a progressive disease) to the better, if you will.
How do I know that? I am an alcoholic, albeit one in recovery.
My now deceased exAH quickly moved on to and married another woman.
He was buried last year at the age of 47 due to complications from AIDS.
There are no happy endings for an alcoholic who remains active in his/her disease.
I promise you that. :ghug3
