Sorry you are feeling miserable Molly--Hate those feelings but I am sure you can beat them as you have loads of ammunition in your toolkit. Watching TV and how the storm hit Ireland last night looks dramatic.

Few @@@@ coming, don't worry Molls, not you, have one of these instead :hug:

[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION].......keep us updated, I know how much your love you Mother.

[MENTION=5052]anon[/MENTION]........We'll have to have a birthday party.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION].........once a day keeps the demons away.

Jenny update....its all gone right up shit creek. Mr JC (being a lawyer) says she doesn't have to leave the house as its joint tenancy..........the ex says his lawyer ..........yes she does and she shouldn't be getting advice from her father (thats a load of bollocks)..........but if it does go any further she'll be speaking to her god-father (also a lawyer)............saddest thing is she's going to call a domestic abuse helpline and the police..........about some verbal and text messages shes received.

[MENTION=5052]anon[/MENTION].....just got a text ......its all calm at the moment. Honestly he was acting as a lawyer not her Dad and the best thing is she knows he knows his stuff.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

He wants HER to leave.
Now why would she do that ?

I know nuttin' but if she's paying half the rent - she can stay put !

[satz123]

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

AND she can get advice from Jack the Ripper if she chooses.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Thanks Satz--How is the boy?
Do not feel the least bit inspirational--Just bloody stubborn!

Ms A the boy has gone through Christmas.
His GF now wants him back - but for once I am reluctant to send him back there to sink or swim.
Best to stay here on the shore for a while where it's as safe as we can make it.
He can go paddle every now & then

Jaysus [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]... there's a lot going on there. Hopefully they can sort it out without going down the legal route, its all probably very raw right now.. mind yourself.

[MENTION=5052]anon[/MENTION], I have nothing interesting or practical to say most of the time.. your a legend, 3 marathons at 71!! Did you run much when your were drinking?

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], how are things with your mam and son??

Very cranky teenager here, we wont let him do anything apparently... sigh.

Night all X

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

crossed posts Satz.. good to hear your son is doing well. Is he in good form, positive about his progress?
I think your right keeping him there..

I know nuttin' but if she's paying half the rent - she can stay put !

Think she feels safer away from the house and also its a village where everyone knows him and they treat her like an incomer..........they've only just stopped dragging their knuckles along the ground there.

AND she can get advice from Jack the Ripper if she chooses.

Or Jax the Ripper

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]..........oh god a cranky teenager.........he needs a job. Cleaning the elephants out at Dublin zoo..........that'll give him something to twist about.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Morning - guessing she's well out! What a creep -

Sorry you're starting the teenage years Mary - best advice I got for those turbulent times was that when there was confrontation about boundaries to remember that I was their parent not their friend - for what it's worth!

But they do still love us it's just hard to know that sometimes :cuss:

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

So sorry to hear about what is happening to your daughter Jackie. We went through it with our daughter who lives in Norway. It was a a really tough time but in the end 3 years on it has made her stronger--but at the time it was horrible.
Mary I only started running 20 years ago and yes when I was drinking a lot--It was very hard but at the end of each run I resolved to try and pack in the booze.I even ran a marathon with a hangover--not a pretty sight! Needless to say it is so much easier now and I am faster also. Off for a run now!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Good morning all. :hug::hug::hug: Rusty, JC, Satz and all who are having challenging times in their families. Well done Anon, you are an inspiration. I thought it was great hiking the Inca trail in my 50’s but running marathons at 71, wow. I also have a daughter in Norway, Oslo.

Mary, don’t envy you teenagers. I was told that their obnoxious behavior is to prepare us for letting go. By the time they reach 20, you are glad to see them move out. Mind you they keep coming back :thumbsup:, should not complain, nice that they want to but have to admit I’m ready for some quiet time.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Young Satz drinking again FFS !!.
The GF rang

He had partly moved back with the GF but I 've been feeling is was not a good move as he seemed 'together' here.
That is not me being a doting mother - believe me I'm glad to get rid of them to their own lives.
But in this case - just out of rehab - I think he's better off here.
