Just as Melody Beattie says, for all your actions "you either pay now, or pay later"
Life is a game called "Consequences". You can't be dangerous to your child and your wife, then get wasted and forget where the car YOU were driving is (and you know its not even yours) and in which condition... be a menace to 3rd parties because you just cannot get a cab when you get wasted... and so so much other harmful stuff to him and his family...
...and expect to live a happy wonderful life full of love, expect for your wife to "change her mind" as if she did not live and witness what she did. As if she was not a human being with feelings, needs and the memories...
Keep striding forward Mambo! :ghug3
