Then she digs deeper and he's all for it. I told her yesterday, You know what his problem is? She asked me, What? I said, He never got his a$$ beat and that's what he really wanted growing up! Someone to beat his a$$ because he never came home on time, or didn't clean his room, or sassed back someone. So she asked him and he admitted it! He's got a lot of emotional and mental pain tearing him apart that comes from his childhood and that hurts him more than the a$$beating ever would have. That pain seeps out of him every time he finds his way into a bottle. He's going to have to find a way to deal with that. He told her he has me to help him and frankly, I'm too effin tired, unqualified and unprofessional to help his sorry soul. I love him dearly but I'm not a therapist. I'm his wife. That's all I wanna be to him. We can talk through a ****** day but that's about it...
