"Numb. Pete is drunk again."

Thursday, June 11, 2009 | A Sad story

So....Thursday night, Peter came home AGAIN stoned drunk to the gills.  I think that's 3 nights this week.....the man is 56, has Hepatitis C, is diabetic, hasn't taken his diabetes medicine once this year (economy, yet I am paying $1263 a month in health insurance so he CAN get his medicine).  If i didn't know any better, I'd think he had decided to drink himself to death as a solution to our finances.  Right.  That would mean he was thinking about some one other than himself.

 

I'm so tired.  I have been sick since Monday, with some horrible bronchitis.  Fever, chills, coughing up crud....not many words of care from Peter or Shelby....thank God for Ben.  He went up to Morgantown on Monday to see Lauren and called me everyday to see how I was feeling....at least I raised one with compassion.

    Yes, as you know alcohol is & hcv is a bad combo, & drinking negates the whole purpose of TX. And DM? It is suicide. Does your insurance cover counselling? You can't make anyone do anything, all you can do is take care of you. God bless.
