And I agree with what Meg said... like if something were to happen to me or the girls he wouldn't be able to take care of us. I know I have a problem with this and that's one of the biggest reasons why I never really drink anymore. <br /><br />There have been nights where Lane is drinking and I just have to leave and be alone because my anxiety is so crazy. There have been nights where I've been bawling and shaking because I'm scared... why? I don't really know. I guess just because the situation feels out of control and we both know I have issues with that. And then in the morning everything is fine.<br /><br />I didn't grow up with an alcoholics in my family... but Lane definitely did and that scares me. He's got it in him and I hate that. I don't want him to end up like them.<br /><br />So I can't say I can totally relate but I kind of can. It's something I deal with and something I can't control.<br /><br />It's just another control issue.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289687660575470146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871684353217068827.post-80003824448065943862009-10-09T20:51:44.078-07:002009-10-09T20:51:44.078-07:00my dad was an alcoholic, but he was mean.

He wasn't all that loving or affectionate when he wasn't drunk, so it wasn't like I was missing out on that when he was drinking.<br /><br />When Andy drinks, the only thing I was ever concerned about was him becoming an alcoholic because I never wanted him to drink every night like my dad did...even if it was only one drink.<br /><br />But now that I don't drink, and he does, there have been times when he's had more than a couple and I get a little worried because I worry that something will happen to me and the baby and he won't be able to help me. I decided I'm strong enough to take care of myself (it took a lot more than just thinking that, it's just the nutshell version of it.)<br /><br />I know we didn't have the same experience growing up, but there it is.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237269256782422540noreply@blogger.com
