Thanks. Glad you had a good evening with her. I've had some good alcohol-driven evenings on occasion. ;P Unfortunately have had some bad ones too.
I don't know if my sitch is progressing...but I am. I have been doing lot of thinking this week...I am reading a book called Tears And Healing. It's really helping me sort out some of my very conflicted feelings about my life.
Last night was interesting for me as well. It was H's birthday. We made plans to meet at the mall for dinner. He was in a good mood yesterday, been a while since I saw him in this state of mind. Anyway, he picked this place because it's S12's favorite, and then he could go shopping for some new tools he wanted for his birthday. So the kids were really happy. We brought him a bag with his favorite candy and some cards and stuff.
We met up in the food court..it was 6 p.m. I thought he had gotten a soda while he was waiting for us, but I got closer and realized it was a cup from a gas station. A 32 oz cup. Vodka and cranberry juice. I couldn't believe it. He was clearly under the influence. Again, this is extreme behavior even for him. BUT, at least he was happy instead of irritable.
He loved what we gave him. HE LOVES US...."I love you man" It was kind of like that. We ate (him not much) and then he said, let's see a movie! That's definitely not like him. I love to go to the movies but he usually refuses. So we went and bought his tools and we went to a movie and it was nice.
I really don't know how he fits all these people in one body.
By then about 4 hours had passed. He seemed okay. We stopped and got ice cream on the way home and then watched American Idol on Tivo. He didn't have any kind of bedtime outburst. It was a good night really. I mean..except for the obvious. But he was nice.
