I agree but would caveat by saying that there are a lot of things in the world that destroy people and families. A lack of romance and escape being another of them.
I think there is stark difference between being the victim of an alcoholic abusive relationship one cannot escape and, "a lack of romance and escape" Mr. Contrarian.
yeah for sure, I understand the hurt. I guess that I feel bad because I like a drink or four and I don't think I hurt anyone else but feel like I should be guilty all the time.. so I stop boozing and then I really miss it.
In simpler times I'd live in the pub I think, I might be happier for it!
