Today I watched a talk show regarding a video that many have seen recently online.

It was about a woman, who out of the blue, not knowing who's doorbell she rang in the middle of the night screaming for help. It filmed on a "ring" security camera. The woman was ringing the doorbell for help as a man was filled beating and dragging her into a car and drive off. He was blacked out drunk admitably.

He is actually out on bail now and is claiming he was blacked out drunk and doesn't remember a thing. It was his girlfriend with their one year old child in the back seat of the car.

He and his family are claiming it was an isolated situation and he doesn't deserve jail time.

Has anyone said or done something that hurt you or vise versa, in one way or another, while they were under the influence, do you forgive or expect forgiveness and move on, or do you seek justice if applicable.

Example: someone may have said something so hurtful/hateful you cannot seek justice in this type of situation. Do you forgive them because the other person was under the influence?

Probably not, but I don’t know or associate with people who drink, except my sister and she did say something very hurtful about my deceased wife when my wife was alive. My sis didn’t get a pass because she was my sister. I think my being mad long and unforgiving is being controlled by someone else, i let that crap go rather than let it occupy head space.

I had a very close call with my uncle my mum's brother when I was 14...She obviously awoke when she heard me screaming and came to my aide in my bedroom..Now for whatever reason she doesn't remember..I got over that incident fine but my uncle found me in FB because I'm on my mums friend list..When he sent me a friend request on fb I accepted as that past incident hadn't even entered my mind I put it down to he was very drunk.

So last year he sends me a message on fb it was so sick in what he said adding he wanted my phone number..I blocked him he complained to my mum..I showed my mum he's message also reminded her of what he tried to do to me..She made excuses for him..Then he made numerous profiles on fb trying to get to me.

Drink often highlights what is already there hidden and controled when the person isn't drunk... be it unexpressed anger, frustration, hate or lack of respect for the other gender or violence. Sometimes it can also be unexpressed love, tenderness, fun....

Whatever it is, drink magnifies it ... so it's part of who they are... not to be swept under the carpet ...

There is an alcoholic licence to behave foolishly if not so much viciously. If you were to stumble home and wet the bed you'd suffer for that, but the relationship wouldn't be over.
