He sleeps a lot, zones out in front of the tv with a tall glass of vodka,
Why doesn’t his alcoholism play a bigger role in the story you tell?
I didn't think he was an alcoholic. He was never a big drinker because of work and his mom was an alcoholic. He stopped caring about his job and discovered flavored vodka. His 3 ounces with a mixer turned into 8 ounces straight. It was a slow creep and he never appeared drunk. One night I counted his drinks and expressed my concern. He told me it was none of my business and that was the end of that.
At the BD he said I was the reason he drank and I believed him. He's been gone a year though and as of December (my girls stopped talking about it) he was drinking more than ever. They told me there were empty bottles everywhere. I blew this off as he's just living the single life that eventually he'd chill and go back to drinking water because you know this is all my fault...ugh.
