hey bitter...lol...j/kSounds like classic, sociopathic narcissist to me....with a drug and alcohol problem. I know, I have an ex just like him. Call me bitter but my heart no longer bleeds for people like this.
if realistic is bitter, bring on the bitter
I too have had experience with drug addicts...it's all good until it isn't and then you just look at them and think how you could happily run a knife through their guts. They wreck everything around them and friends and family who try to help end up getting used and abused or want to pretend it isn't happening because then they have to deal and not enable. It brings out every aspect of dysfunction in a home and everyone gets laid bare...that's reality. In order to help, you have to be one tough mo-fo and a harsh realist. That ain't what he is surrounded with at this point.
Chances of recovery are slim...it does happen, but it's slim which is why Dougie there just might be an azzhole of the highest order ...who would set him out there and unleash the dogs, not someone who loves ya...but if Ford did this willingly he is not even close to recovery and I am certain he has been warned of that repeatedly...if he didn't, if he did it to please, then he is surrounded with sycophants
he also obviously has food addictions... good lord many addicts replace the addiction so about the only healthy option for him is a gym before the big one fells him
