I had a tough weekend (rant)

[MissMillie]

I was rushing to get a baby blanket ready for my daughter-in-law's baby shower, plus a "baby bingo" game. I asked my guy to go get the paper plates, napkins, plastic utensils....

He was gone for 7 hours, and when he came home he had fallen. Someone drove him home (thank goodness). He had a big scrape on his head. He was yelling at me asking what had happened to him. How was I supposed to know that?

I went to the shower because I needed to be there, but I was afraid to leave him. He could have been seriously hurt.

While I was at the shower, he called around to see what had happened. He went to one bar and got loaded, and then he went to another one and fell off the stool.

Thank goodness he has friends.

Last night he came home w/ 2 bottles.

I fully admit that I drink. I drink at home.

All he had to do was buy the paper products and come home.

Why didn't he come home?

1. Better ask him why he didn't come home.

It also appears that he blacked out from a fall when he hit his head or from his 7 hour drinking session. Both of you need to seek professional help for alcoholism. Alcoholism wrecks relationships and destroys people's lives. Only you can do something about it. Hopefully your guy will follow.

2. Yeah, leading by example is probably the best policy here.

I don't know if you're an alcoholic, MissMillie, but if you quit drinking it might rub off on your guy.

3. You know the answer.

This indicates a problem that needs to be addressed.

You won't find consolation on any message board.

You know what needs to be done. Address the problem.

Sincere best wishes to you.
