You know, I watched "When a Man Loves A Woman" last night. It came on late night TV just after I logged off my PC and had a quick squint of the forum. It's well worth checking out, particularly if you are a husband of an alcoholic. Anyone with kids, in fact.
I get denial. I get why you might be distracted by your partners' antics. I get why getting them sober seems like the main game in town. What I will never get is why you are so oblivious to your childrens' safety and emotional wellbeing. And I don't even have kids.
I know that is harsh. I just don't know how else to say it.
*You being a generic "you".
