Sorry to hear that, David. It must be difficult for you, your brother and your mother (and probably your father too, however much you dislike the way he is). However, I can fully understand why you'd feel like that towards him. Alcohol is terrible like that. He must be quite broken inside to have stuck to alcohol for so long. I think only if you're depressed you drink. It spirals out of control then. I don't really know what to suggest though. Maybe a week holiday or staying over a mate's house for a while may work... just to get you away from that environment. Of course, sort your family too though, don't make it look like you're running away.

Thanks James.  We're going on vacation to Lake Michigan (which sounds like it's quite beautiful up there) in a few weeks, and getting away from daily issues will definitely help that out. I've just come to terms with a lot of things tonight and I'll take the best and brightest attitude I can with whatever happens next. And we have other family that lives close by and has told us we are welcome to spend the night or even live with them for a few weeks if it gets bad enough. So it will work out in some way.

Indeed, us Shredders don't always make insensitive jokes. We can be serious too. You have my support in this. I do hope things work out. Oh TT, stop posting even sexier photos of Ellen Page as your avatar.

I think Lizzy wants to smother Matt in bed with her long legs actually... and I don't mean to kill him but to lure him into her sexual domain.

Insensitive jokes... someone called me?
Take it easy David, there's a sliver lining to every black cloud. (Damn you DT for turning that apt saying into a cheesy album).

I think she's 23... but I could be wrong.
However, Alison Lohman is 30. My age (almost). But she's married. Boo.

Oh, I bet she's the one who would wear the pants in that relationship, no doubt about it.
