Didi7: My dear SA, I did not mean to offend you by saying that, and if you don't think that his alcoholism was hurtful to himself (physically, medically), then forgive me.

And, btw, I am VERY familiar with alcoholism; my father was quite a 'devotee' of alcohol. He was a menace to my mother (and her sister on one occasion), later my stepmother and to me. However, he was mostly a menace to himself.
I think the difference of your father and my husband is why we aren't in agreement that my husband would qualify to come back.

My husband didn't like drinking. It was an addiction that he beat several times but it always drew him back into the bottle. He wasn't a menace to me in the form of domestic violence but there were times that he did things that were out of character. I was sad that he wasn't the nice guy that I knew he could be therefore I wasn't happy.

I'm going to go a step further and let you know how I treated my husband after our divorce.

I didn't love my husband after the divorce but I did respect him. He was the father of our child so I kept him in her life as much as possible, more than court ordered visitation.

There were times he would call me and within seconds I knew he was drunk in a bar. Do you think I yelled at him. No I didn't. I got in my car and went to the bar. I didn't drag him out of the bar or embarrass him. I handled him gently because with the state he was in he needed a friend. I was a better friend than a wife. I nursed his wounds when he hit his head, I surprised him with a sweater I knitted for him for a Christmas present, blah blah blah. The point I'm trying to make is that he wasn't my enemy. He was my ex husband who happened to be the father of our child. I did everything I could to make sure she knew her father loved her even though we didn't live together.

I don't want him to come back for myself. I want him to come back to be with his daughter, to enjoy her company, her dogs and her husband.

He STILL qualifies Didi.

Didi7: Heaven has become over-populated, so God has decided to send 1 person back to earth to live with a loved one. Each person on earth has to choose who they would prefer to have sent back to them, based on the following criteria:

*Was most missed
*Is helpful and caring
*Is not a menace to self, nor to society




I would choose my mother (but only if she really wanted to return).

Who would you choose?
Based on your criteria I don’t know anyone who applies. I must be not old enough for this stuff to apply because nobody has died yet.

I have way too many to choose from. I wouldn't be able to make a choice.

I'm all for recycling and circular business models, but some people are at peace with the end of their lives.

I'm pretty sure my dogs would be happy to be dogs again, though.
