That bum that stays with us lost his job because of drinking...tried to join army
   
Edited on Sat Sep-05-09 01:59 AM by greenbriar
even they wouldn't take him

he has 3 DuIs on his record

cut off is 2


god damn bum will NEVER leave

I am ready to just throw his ass out

we were so praying that the Army would take him and it would solve all the issues

Homeless and with an addiction that I am sure is no fault of his own and she wants to throw him out in the street.
I bet the rest of the DUmp will remind her what it means to be a proud liberal.

2. You are allowing him to abuse your hospitality.
   Throw him out.

NOW.

He needs to hit bottom, and you will help him do that...

27. DUI x 3, at least one rehab failure (March), drinking in your house,
   you are unhappy, hubby is keeping him - it might be time to cut the cord between him and hubby and send him on his merry way.

In his mind, there is no reason to correct his behavior since he has a comfortable nest with a daddy bird who will supply his needs. Mommy bird needs to push him out

22. You are a saint for having put up with this for so long
   But you have to stop it now, for his sake and your family's. And I hope you don't have any young children at home. My mother brought 2 different alcoholic boyfriends home to live with us. One was an evil bastard, and the other was a decent, sad soul who actually cared for us, but his alcohol addiction allowed him to do things he wouldn't have, ordinarily. And the both molested me (the evil bastard also molested my sister and my best friend, and beat the crap out of my mother and brothers.) Male alcoholics and children with no birth father around are a terrible combination.

9. you're enabling him
   toss him out and go 'no contact' with him - he'll get help when he has no other choice - and only then - apparently.

Think of it this way - you will be - in the long run - likely doing him a favor by letting him hit bottom so that he HAS to get help - of course he may be able to just glomb off someone else - or not.

Sometimes having a heart means saying "NO"

You have to say no to him. Even though it's hard - it may be the best thing for both of you in the long run.

Don't enable his addiction by giving him a roof. He got himself into that mess with his drinking - and only HE can get himself out - MAKE him do it - or he won't.

Silly me but that almost sounded like that "personal responsibility" thing that sets the demonic rage at the DUmp off usually.

30. You and your husband are his enablers. Throw them both out.
   There's no excuse to be supporting a guy who is drunk all the time, irresponsible, and refuses to clean himself up. Pack all his stuff. Set it outside. Don't let him back into the house for any reason. If your husband objects, pack his stuff and put him out, too.

32. This is a "He goes or I go" situation if I ever heard one.
   Three years? **** that.

Hmmmm...guess compassion to a DUmmy ends when it is their money and their sacrifice. :evillaugh:

Here's how I bet the conversation will go:

Greebriar: It's him or me!

Hubby: Well, I'd like to say it's been nice, but... see ya babe!

So three years of having to be personally responsible for somebody is far too much and the guy should be tossed on the street.  However, it is perfectly acceptable for people to be on welfare indefinitely, and anybody who wants to place limits is evil and uncaring.  Gotcha.

It gets better...while they are angry about 'poor greenbriar' being taken advantage of and having this guy live off of her kindness. Once he leaves and gets SSDI for being an alcoholic, the rest of us will be considered uncaring bastards for saying he's abusing the system if he liveds on it indefinitely. Ain't it funny how that works?

  That was what I was thinking.  Her life must really suck to be second fiddle to her hubbys friend.   :rotf:

     With DUmmies, there's always more to the story. My guess is that she's banging the guy, or it might even be a three-way situation.

I thought just a few weeks ago she was celebrating getting rid of her abusive drunk husband's alcoholic partner.

Just before she put him to bed with a smile.

Was she lying then, or is she lying now? Most likely both. He never existed.

Hmmmmmmmmmm! I thought the whole DUmmie screed was to help those less fortunate than us, and those, who, by no fault of their own, (wink, wink), had addictions or disabilities.

Guess I was wrong!
