Hi INH
I read a lot of your posts over the past 3 months and can only hope that things sort themselves out for you. I learnt early that telling the truth tends to work, as a young Billy I had a boss who knew when you had ducked up, if you admitted to it, he just bawled you out and forgot about it, if you tried to cover it up, he would haul you over the coals (another anglicism = carpetting) for weeks after that.
From what I have seen of you, you have grown so much in strength these past months that you can take whatever happens in your stride, you know that drink is your enemy, so you wont confide in him.
Hope it sorts itself, and keep posting, we are here to listen, we dont judge. I have seen so many things on these forums, the honesty is the strength. I have got enough portraits in my attic, so I cant talk
Billy
