i can totally identify with everything you are saying............so over protective of my boys. i dont really have too much of a relationship with my mum but my boys do which im very happy about for them.
but i truly think if it wasnt for the boys i would have nothing to do with her at all.
i totally agree with that and there was no way i would have let my mother mess with my kids heads the way she had mine. i think you go back to being that little girl and still crave the love you should have had then
when i think of the relationships some of my friends have with thier mums it does make me think ive missed out and would love to have that but after all the years of hurt and pain i know its never going to happen. doesnt stop you wanting it though
you drink because you hurt you drink to ease pain you drink to forget and to remain sane but when you wake up nothing has changed everything around is still the same so why do you drink??!! you must be insane
im afraid i dont agree that its a shame.........its a shame for the people round about them who have to deal with the drunken behaviour and lying on a daily basis. there is plenty of help out there for alcoholics and why dont they take the help?.............because they are selfish and can only think of themselves and where the next bottle is coming from.
was just browsing and came across this thread and thought id give a little insight to what i know of alcoholics.
i was the child of an alcoholic and lets just say that until the age of 4 my life was horrific..............wont go into details on that score but i ended up being brought up in care and the social work department holding parental rights.
alcoholics are very selfish people who think of no one but themselves and ruin lives into the bargain.
i never lost touch with my mother and its only since i had my kids that she has improved her lifestyle and a lot of that was because i was intolerant of her ways and told her in no uncertain terms that she would have absolutely nothing to with my kids while she was drinking.
my kids adore her and she is wonderful with them and i think in her own way she is trying to make up with what she missed on with me. that wont ever happen and i suppose in a way i do still hold a bit of a grudge for what i missed out on.
ive been there wirth the phone calls in the middle of the night and being embarrassed when i have had to go and pick her up from somewhere when she passed out and made a complete fool of herself.
tough love is sometimes the only way and just remove yourself from the situation altogether.
Gordon Brown was looking for a lady of the night. he found one such girl in a local pub. he said "i'm Prime Minister of England, how much would it cost for me to spend some time with you?" her reply " if you can get my skirt as high as my taxes, my pants as low as my wages, your D**** as hard as the times we live in and keep it rising like the price of petrol, and screw me the way you have the pensioners, then it wont cost you a penny"
RE: mr brown..
gave me a good wee giggle anyway
