Omg, this really upsets me! Disease, my butt! I used to accept that, but that just gives them an excuse to never get better! I too may have to pay spousal support because my AH is pissed that he's going to have to pay child support, so he's going to retaliate. Any state is sick if they believe an alcoholic, who is able to work but chooses not to by drinking his/her life away, should take money from someone else, especially when the someone else supports a child or children!!! This topic really got to me. Every day there's something new to get upset about. Does this ever get better? I wonder what life is like with a healthy person. I can't even imagine it.
