I found him bawling because he claimed that I had called him a bum.After that he starting going to meetings, staying clean (for the most part) and got a new job.Then, it started all over again. The, "I'll be home right after work. "NOT SO FAR!Coming home drunk and the blame game. No meetings, no money and THAT mouth!!! He expects dinner, clean clothes, clean house, to be able to shower before anyone else, comfortable bed and me to ne at home waiting for him.He spent 9 months on prison (not to mention all the months in the county) and everyone should accommodate HIM!?!?He says that it's no wonder he doesn't want to be at home because I'm a nightmare and don't take care of anything!
