[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did he react the following morning?

The answer to that question is the whole
story. Everyone counseling the OP to slow down, it’s one time, w/ev needs to take a long hard look at why they did not ask this question.

There is only one good answer to this question and I would bet my house it isn’t what happened here.

OP: what did he say and do the next day?[/quote]

Thanks everyone, especially those understanding that this was actually really awful and upsetting.

The first thing he did the next morning was to apologize. He was very remorseful. At the same time he seemed dismissive about needing to do more than “it won’t happen again”. I was too annoyed to talk to him more yesterday and ignored him. This morning he apologized again. He’s willing to see a therapist and though he doesn’t think he has a problem (I disagree), he said he’s open to seeing someone who knows about substance abuse and anger management who can advise him and us whether it is or not. I really hope he will follow through on this, I think it’s the only way we can survive.

To those thinking I overreact, well I think I’ll just disagree and leave it at that. It isn’t an isolated incidence, he has “snapped” like this when drinking before but this is the first time it happened in front of kids and friends. For me that crosses a line. I honestly think that the fact the kids saw him like this has shook him up and is the only reason he’s willing to speak with someone about it.

Ps: I didn’t cry in front of my kid. She has a bunk bed and I went in there to get away from him. If you think that’s what will mess them up vs their dad being drunk and scary, then okay.
