He's like an alcoholic who keeps apologizing to his abused wife

[graywarrior]

who knows hes gonna go do it again and again and again.

1. I would have gotten him out of my life after he was milking the horse!

[forintegrity]

2. He is an alcoholic...a dry alcoholic

Psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers must have a hay day watching and listening to him!

[graywarrior]

3. A Dry Drunk. No clue that he doesn't have a clue.

12. that's it...I knew that didn't sound right

4. Seems like my cue to repost: Intervention letter from a friend down under:

Then again, I'm always looking for a opportunity to bring this back:

http://12thharmonic.com/wordpress/index.php/2005/09/07/americas-battered-wife-syndrome/

As a friend of the family I can’t sit back and watch you do this to yourself without saying something. Consider this a long distance intervention.

Your man is no good. He treats you like crap, lies to you, abuses you, bullies you, exploits you, takes your money. As a friend I want to tell you that you deserve better. You deserve a person that treats you with respect, cares about your welfare, and your children’s welfare, but that’s not George and it never will be.

Do you tell yourself that he’ll stop, or that it won’t get worse? He won’t ever stop, every insult, injury and death he has caused are a line that once crossed will never be uncrossed. Forget the dream. You will never have the American dream with George. You have to forget about what might have been, what George might have been, and realise that at the end of the day you are what you do, and look at George’s track record.

Rest at link....

6. It's what he knows, since he IS an alcoholic. nt

7. We're on the same wavelength...

Kinda like a Rich Man giving money to the mother of a child he killed...

[FreedomAngel82]

8. Yep

And for letting down the kids and not showing up at their respective events (baseball games and band concerts and the like).

[graywarrior]

9. And for letting them go hungry and thirsty and drowned.

11. wow..what does that makes us... Then, we and the country

are the ones that have the problem...A country with a battered wife syndrome isn't very capable of recovering without help... I don't buy into your analogy..
