    Went to Australia in December and decided to drink for the holiday - the family hosted a drunken intervention - FFS !
    Stopped again on return ..... back on again for holiday in June 2013 - home and off again - never to return to it as it just sickened me .......
    I know Mr S harbours the idea that 'why can't she just drink when we go out' with regard to me and now probably with regard to young Satz. Drinking at home is for alkies



    He drinks at home - somewhat moderately now - as he has no money.
    He does not drink with friends - he is a lone drinker like us all.
    If he has money he drinks to STUPIDITY.
    So maybe MrS is not too far wrong about alkies drinking alone at home.
    I think Mr Satz is partially right in his view that alkies drink alone but my dad because he wasnt allowed to drink at home would just go out and get pissed......then drive home.

      What did the injunction do, Starts?
      He had to have no contact with us.......so he lived in the feckin garage. It was awful, his car would be parked outside sometimes and I was frightened to go home. Then after some time he moved into someone elses feckin garage

        Do you consider yourself an alkie or a problem drinker? Does Mr. Satz consider you an alkie? I remember Mr. Stirly on one of the rare occasions that he mentioned my drinking he said - "it's not like you're an alcoholic or anything!" Um, yeah, I am. That's why I drink so much and every night. He was in denial about it. I am not. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I cannot drink. Just wondering what Mr. Satz's take on you is........

        That must have been horrible for your family. And to get the injunction, there must have been solid evidence against him. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

                        Nah didn't say anything - had a fall down stone step in Croatia - seriously hurt my ankle which ironically is grand ( but still sore - ligaments apparently) but I tried to save myself with my hand - anyway I'll live!!

                          Well I am delighted you have gone and got it sorted! Is it a finger or hand bone that broke? Either way I guess you are off work?

                                Jaysus - 3 weeks? Didn't it hurt? Hope you're better and wishing you much patience with that cast. (I'd go at it with a saw to get it off. Besides an alkie I'm a raging claustrophobic and cannot bear any kind of restriction whatsoever!!)

                                Starts - no child should have to go through things like that.

                                Glad the posts are helping you Bridget. That's basically why we're still here.
