I DON'T want to remember the *good times* ..... because
(1) in looking back, they weren't REAL ..... just ALCOHOLIC fun
(2) if I do so I may just WEAKEN and go back
(3) he's an alcoholic that cannot and does not want to quit
(4) although deep down I know he has a *heart* (about the only one who believed that and believed in him ..... he cares NOT to show it
(5) the good times have been tainted and I've been left with is pain, deceit, distrust, lost of self-esteem ..... and guess what ...... a substance abuse problem!
So, I dare not revisit the *good times*!
Sorry this sounds so cruel. Just honest!
