Nope...in fact he was talking about going on a BIG WDW trip with her a few days before he posted this 'announcement". Someone posted the op's thread about that fact in another a while ago before the whole thread disappeared ...*coughs*

Interesting topic for post #56.

If you are done, then do what you ened to do to prepare. Get the finances in order, get your documentation of her behavior and how it endangers your kids in order, get to an attorney, get a plan together for how to care for your kids, get people lined up who will be able to testify against her so she does not get custody of the kids.

Get your ducks in a row.

This! I get that after being on a board such as this for a period of time you might ask for advice on things other than Disney.

But I have seen many trolls lately and I don't see signing up here, never talking about Disney, vacations, etc. and then posting something like this.

I'm not saying rudeness is acceptable, but neither is "playing" with people or their emotions.

Exactly! That is why I wish the search were available.


When I signed up for the Dis, it was through a search for WDW info. I didn't even know there was a CB for months! And even then, it took me a couple of months to start a thread about anything, let alone something deeply personal and controversial. Wait a minute, I STILL haven't started a thread about anything personal or controversial.

I just have one question...

What happened to the search feature???

 

[jekajekalynn]

I've found the link that AlleyKat posted on a different thread, but I tried to link it twice and it wouldnt do it... but I will copy/paste post the message the op typed out days before posting this "announcement"...

" DW finally gives in!!
After alternating watching Christmas specials and Disney Holiday specials on HGTV and such, my DW (on her own, no less) says "Wow, we should go for next Christmas."!!!!

That's all I needed to hear. I quickly got the kids on my side so she couldn't change her mind. Planning starts tomorrow when I'm sure to get the Unofficial Guide...

First trip during the holidays. I can't wait. Yes, we'll be taking then DD5 out of kindergarten, but I'm OK with that. Once she's in 1st grade, I wouldn't take the kids out of school.

Planning to go for a week in December anytime before Christmas. "

Hopefully the search will work soon...

WTH?! Just because they had planned a trip must mean he is lying and she isn't an alcoholic? I've got news for you, there is such things as functioning alcoholics who do normal everyday activities and maybe she is one. Maybe she promised to stop and fell off the wagon. Who knows? I find your witchhunt digusting.

But, I only have 50+ posts so I must be a troll too.

What my problem is that this is smelling so much like a troll here I'm surprised I don't see gnomes or night elves coming over.. (WoW reference there )

I agree. How catty! No wonder the OP hasn't been back.

Of course I don't have many posts myself, so my opinion doesn't mean much either!

Maybe when I hit 200 posts!

The problem seems to be that the OP dropped this little bomb, gave no further details and then left.

We are left to figure it out.

Some of us are a little wary, some are bearing their souls. Why are we fighting? Was that the purpose of his thread?

omg the things you read on a day at the DISboards...

"If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, (and smells like a duck ), makes a controversial vague comment with a low post count and doesn't come back to the thread like a duck, it's probably a duck.


ETA: I just noticed, I have a new tag!! Thanks TF!!

 

[kimmar067]

Am I missing some joke?

.... wondering the same thing....

 

[kimmar067]

I am so sorry.

My father was an alcoholic. He came home one night drunk and fell asleep, dropping his cigarette on the floor. (My Mom was in the hospital and I was staying with family.) He totally burned down our house and died in the fire.

I was 10.

...

 

[disney1990]

How very sad. I'm so sorry.

...

Thank you.

I have been totally afraid of fires since. I prefer to stay on the first floor of hotels and won't accept a room on a high floor.

 

[a1tinkfans]

Disney1990,
No words even come to me, so very tragic!


OP: I watched an alcoholic mom suffer with the disease for years, ultimately die in her late 40's, leaving behind her two children, who had to continue their "new" struggle....... to try and understand why their family fell apart. Very heartbreaking situation. If this is an accurate/true post, I wish you success and strength to keep your children safe and get your wife the help she needs.

It is something I'll work through. Was very frustrated on Saturday night.

There are good and bad in every relationship. But for now, the good outweighs the bad.

I didn't mean to abandon the thread, but I felt bad after the original post. I shouldn't have dropped such a negative bomb in a forum that should be happy and positive.

Thank you everyone for your time and consideration.

Hey. People post everything here. You are alright. Hope you are able to talk it through with your DW and have some positive changes soon.

 

[MinnieTink]

OP Im sorry about your situation. Please get your wife help. Last summer a woman I went to high school with lost her THREE DDs in a car crash caused by her drunk SIL. (google Hance Foundation or Diane Schuler). I'm not saying your DW would be capable of anything so horrendous---but I'm sure my classmate didn't think her SIL was capable either.

Best wishes...
