Milly Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good luck Mrs B. With the cockerel as much as anything else - that seems the big challenge, while everything is going well on other fronts! Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonix Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I was just thinking of you the other day. Glad things are working out for the best. Don't be worried about posting when you are happy as this appears to be a very non-judgmental forum. As many have said - only you know what is best for you and your family and don't appear ot be wearing any blinkers or rose tinted specs.

Guest Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good for you - certainly no judgement and you DO NOT sound like a perpetual victim. Your children do need their Dad in their lives and its brilliant that he wants to be. You are right he probably will fall off the wagon but he can get back on, one day at a time etc AND at least he got on the wagon in the first place! I speak only from experience, I would have loved my husband to come back and be part of our family but he wouldn't even contemplate getting on the wagon, didn't see he had a problem and his beautifull son has no father except for a couple of hours on the odd Sunday when Daddy can be bothered. I'm happy that your story is turning out better - keep working together to make it a positive happy ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks for the update, Mrs B. Glad to hear you are doing OK. I'm sure "Ooops, word censored!"ody here would dream of judging you for doing what you beleive to be right for your family. I sincerely hope things work out for you. *hugs* I did have to skip the bit about the cockerel (being veggie), but I can guess the content. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejmum Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 All the best to you Mrs Bertie. My Dad had a big drink problem and when I was growing up there were so many times when it was painful and embarrassing, Really upsetting and difficult for my mum. However, I think it is so important to remember that there are different parts to every person, and a drinker is not the only thing he was. He was full of love and laughter, quick witted and clever, and a doting father. I am sure you will find your way to get on with things, and cope when things are difficult. In spite of the things my dad did to make me angry, I always knew he adored me. I hope things stay good with you and mr B. You dont seem like a perpetual victim, and I know my mum never saw herself as a victim. Wishing you well Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baby bears mum Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was thinking of you the other day. Glad you are on the up and quite frankly it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks, only you know what is the right thing for you to do for your family. You are a wonderful, strong woman with or without a partner. I'm glad Mr. B. has made the decision he has and I wish him much luck - it is just one day at a time but each day is a day away from the bottle. Whatever happens I am sure you will have the support of the members here and I can only add my best wishes and loads of hugs to you and all your family. Keep going honey. You are a star With much love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
