Good job means more money for old habits

Rant alert/vent.

The alcoholic has held a good job for over a year now. Rather than save up and pay off old debts among other things that money is going right back to funding old habits including regular bar visits, a steady and supply/stash of alcohol. They're still ignoring price tags . They still resent the fact they still don't have a white collar management job. They also refuse to accept the fact they will have to pay the penalty of a higher interest rate with credit cards, loans etc after a 5 year old bankruptcy(they've done nothing to rebuild credit) frequently still hunting for lump sumps of money because their own credit ' isn't a good deal'.

The rest of family is over joyed they have a job and ignores the drinking and other habits. The alcoholic is also playing up the sympathy angle because of ailments all but guaranteed from decades of drinking & drugging-the youngest person in the family with yet no family history of cardiovascular, blood pressure, stroke or kidney issues. He even admitted one of his doctors told him straight up heaving drinking hardens the arteries(with drink in hand).

To top it over five years since their last known dui and bankruptcy this holiday in an unsolicited rant/ramble or two they absolutely still resent the many people that did not give them money for their bills or help pay for their dui lawyers & penalties. Can't repeat what they said about police officers who were mearly mentioned in tv news cast on in the room.

His already enabling girl friend not only still enables her drinking has increased and/or she is not trying to hide it anymore. And she is frequently the designated driver of a car that was bought for him and still in the actual buyers name( was hoping he would pay it off for them and/or transfer the title by now).

How's your last year been? How's YOUR today going?

I'm sorry there's so much chaos going on in their lives. You can choose to not be a part of it.

Sorry to hear it sounds like nothing fundamentally has changed in that situation. Are you taking good care of you?

I've been busy which is good but because of the various family relationships, alliances and exploited events the alcoholic and issues seem to never leave anyone. Just when you think things have hit a turning point or people have moved you get more than your fair share of reminders-his resentment rants a perfect example. The girl friend getting really bold and copping an attitude. Both can play the long game(con) and their true motives are frequently obvious. Doesn't mean they won't try.
