Smokey, here is Crazy. Crazy, this is Smokey. crazy crazy
Personally, I think it's because he's never been able to control her. She knows his B.S. and won't let him get away with it. We all saw it on the last visit. She knows how to push his buttons. Everyone, even here, blamed her--to some extent. She was inappropriate, she was rude, she was impolite...
That's exactly what has always happened in the real world. This 19-yr--old girl has his number--probably because she is like him. She knows when he is full of B.S.--most of the time. And, she won't tolerate it.
Men like Smokey-addicts--don't speak the same language. He plays people like me like a violin.
D19 doesn't allow it. She never has. She is his kryptonite.
Last Christmas, when she discovered he invited OW to his parents for Christmas. She was the reason, he made his way back to us. D19 told him, without my knowledge, that she would have nothing to do with him ever again if he continued the relationship. D19 follows through where I don't. She drives a hard bargain--Mean what you say and say what you mean. And, in most respects, she knows how to handle addicts better than anyone I've ever known.
My mom has counseling addicts/alcoholics for 30 plus years and she is one of the best--she's not as good as D19. D19 don't play around. She calls a spade a spade.
