Re: Why Do I Stay?
Lorelai, are you my mother? I know its a far stretch but, all of your descriptions match my mother, shes 43, has two daughters, one of which is driving, my father is an alchoholic, shes independently wealthy as an accountant, and i found this webpage up when i was getting ready for school. If you are my mother, I want you to know, you dont have to stay with him for us. None of you do. Chances are, if your husband is an alchoholic, your children have lost all respect for him. The only love I have for my father is that of a daughter to her dad. The kind of love that will always be there no matter what. But i have no respect nor simpathy for someone who can do this to themselves and their families. So, take from me, the daughter of an alchoholic, dont stay together for the kids, they are probably going through the same kind of feelings you are.
