[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 632021, member: 17720"] I did compliment him on the nice thing he had done for his boss. I did congratulate him on 5 months coming up on 6 of sobriety. He let me, and smiled, and even modestly let slip a few other nice things he had done for his friends and roommates. And it wasn't true, any of it. He wasn't coming up on 6 months. I am sure he has been drinking for more than 4 or 5 days; I smelled it on him early last week and then chided myself for believing the worst. After I posted the above, he called me and told me the detox unit was full and wanted to stay here just one night. I told him no. I found out today that detox wasn't full, he was too drunk to be admitted and they sent him to the hospital. The hospital took his BiPolar (BP) and told him to go back to detox. He would have gone with us on this trip and left us to deal with his drinking and/or withdrawal (because he has no money, because he was lying about his job situation too) when we were 1o00 miles from home and could do nothing about it. Maybe the praise contributed, maybe the upcoming trip set him off. All of the things you all pointed out make sense. I don't know. I'm just SO TIRED of not being able to just...be NICE without worrying about the fallout. You are right, Cedar. It is bittersweet. I am at least very grateful I am not dealing with his drama on this trip. But I am still really torqued and so very sick of the lies. Anyway, hope everyone has a lovely weekend. [/QUOTE]
