I think we are all just tired. School is almost out. Our boy needs to get a job for the summer. Nabal has really been trying to cut down on his drinking. He is an alcoholic trying to make it on his own... I really wonder if he is really guilty of everything it looks like he is guilty of or if he is a victim of circumstance... He does such odd things. Last night Nabal was across the street talking to his buddies, he'd come back after disappearing while I was at school, when our boy went over to get something Nabal ran around their house. He was on the phone- not sure if it was his phone, or the Protégé's. If it looks like a duck... Drug deal or girlfriend?
Nabal left his phone across the street Sunday night. I had to pick him up today and his phone was acting up. "Stupid phone doesn't charge right. I charge it all night and it doesn't hold." I just looked at him, said something about it being a new battery and he again said he had charged it- in our house- was adamant it was in our house- all night. He may have gone to sleep drunk, but he woke up to as close to sober as he can get right now. His phone was not in our house charging! Why wouldn't he just say that he hadn't charged it. Everybody forgets to charge their phone now and then. What would have been the big deal in that. I wasn't questioning him. It seems that these days he will lie about any small thing- so what about the big things that really matter. Alanon is certainly true- "How can you tell if an alcoholic is lying? Their lips are moving..." This was one of the most honest men I knew at one time. A very real picture of how alcohol changes a person- they are not who they were... We all mourn that person who was.
