Very helpful reminder for me; thank you for writing this, wicked.
Wanttobehealthy: I could have written something just like that about many exchanges with AH over the past months. I hurt for the hurt you feel, and I can relate even more keenly than you might suspect: my AH pulled a kid's birthday party stunt on me as well. God forbid it actually be about the child's special day. Alcoholism is a regular show-stealer, it seems. Such a bewildering, strange delusion.
