Just thought I would share what I think is a hilarious tale.
I bumped into my ex A's past friend and my A is telling everyone that when he met me several years ago that he had to pick me up out of the gutter and that he could never have drink in the house cause I would down it all, so therefore he had to hide it round the garden so that I could'nt drink it. Why do they come out with such crap, surley he knows people dont believe him. He has also told his new girl that his parents are multi milionaires and he is about to come into a couple of million, when he gets his social money he buys champagne and goes round trying to be mister big. It is so sad that life has to be so false, just because of drink.
After hearing this and a few more bits of "gossip" I am so relieved that I plucked up the courage to leave. I dont deny that somedays are hard, but I now take stock of what I have and it feels good that I am getting there slowly but surely.
Staying positive and taking one day at a time really can work..........
LOL! That IS pretty darn funny. My first thought of the "garden tale" was. I'm sure most wouldn't believe it because a person would dump it, not hide it in the garden. You'd only hide it instead if you wanted it. DUH!!
It's sad really. He's obviously wanting to be something he's not. Might as well be a millionaire.
Kinda makes you glad to be away from it doesn't it? I think I'd see that bit of gossip as a reassuring gift.

Too funny. Hiding the booze in the garden. Well, you have to rationalize it somehow. So good for you for taking care of youself. I thinkthat progrss is slow for all of us and sometimes almost indiscernible. I guess the hard days come with the good days.
