Maybe he was refering to me I dont know.
I wasnt pouncing on her. Sometimes people in abusive relationships need someone to slap them in the face so they can see what the world that they are in.
Trippin' of all people I would expect you to know that. You have had friends in abusive relationships.
IMO the best thing for an alcoholic is let them hit rock bottom without dragging you down with them. If he knows that he can always use her as a crutch then why is he ever going to change???
I said that I wish her and her daughter the best and I was speaking as a former child that had an abusive alcoholic stepfather. I saw all the mistakes that my mother made and the fact that she made excuses for that behavior because frankly, she was being selfish. "I dont want to be alone. no one will want me, he is the love of my life " that kind of shit. I have been there done that and have seen it time and time again with my own family and friends.
YOu can call alcoholism a sickness, addiction or whatever you like, someone makes the choice to take the drink its not forced on you.
I am sure that she can do much better than someone like that. She may not think so but I believe she can.
And lets try and have a civil debate instead of resorting to childish name calling and insults.
