acdirito,
ya got me with voltaire.
i am a recovering alcoholic, i never acted like a sociopath, i was completely withdrawn in my major depressive disorder.
but, my father, well, he had many of those traits and died of cirrhosis of the liver.
i felt defensive as hollyanne did, and i have not had a drink in 14 years. i know you were speaking of one alcoholic, but the title was misleading.
you are a good woman acdirito, who has been through hell.
i admire your ability to express yourself and to accept others opinions.
thank you for this thread, and what i have learned from it.
Beth
