He totally agreed that X was out of control Mon nite. He said there has been really only "marginal progress" with him, even though he's had his goo moments.

So it sounds like sole custody is over-rated and visitations are under-rated! I vote for the latter.

Does he have any documentation for his drinking - like DUIs?

The thing that is scary to me about the drinking issue - is that he could probably have 20 beers and appear sober - I have seen that in heavy drinkers - it always amazes me!!

Right - Sole, in RI anyway, IS over-rated.


He got OUT of SO many DUI's b/c of all his cop freinds. But he was in treatment at a facility at one point. So it is documented.


& actually, once Alcoholism is pretty progressed, in actuality, often LESS begins to affect them. I can usually "see" maybe 3 beers in his eyes. But he was not showing ANY signs of drunkeness that nite. So it may very well have just been 1 or 2.

Yes yes - I have heard that once it is progressed it goes in the other direction as liver function fails - do you think he is at that point yet?

I mean to say "supervised visitation" is under-rated in my other post but you probably guessed that.

You poor thing - what a week you had with all of that and now mother's day - I know that is sad for you and Shrimps - I hope you do okay - and that you and Avery have fun together.

No, i dont think his liver is there yet. Although he DOES have Hep C & has baseline mild chirrosis. SO stupid to still drink a couple times a week.


Yeah, Mothers Day.
