Surviving Abandonment Again

you can't really blame jim for his current disposition. his wife is filing for divorce this friday. it didn't help that she lied about why she was going to see an attorney. he also realized that the son he trusted has actually been deceiving him about how he feels. his wife has difficulty telling the truth when the truth hurts. if it easier to lie she will and regardless of how negative the consequences are she feels no remorse.... problem...she does it again, and again, with no remorse. his son is a different story. jim always thought his only son was truthful. traveling with his son a few days back his son ask jim about his feelings on things. jim told him that, even though he deserved it, he hated that his entire identity (in terms of his family) was "has he had anything to drink?" that was all that matters. his son said he agreed that the family did that but he didn't. he told jim that he did not judge him. yes, the worse possible thing happened... jim believed him. based on an email jim intercepted between the wife and son, he found out that his son did judge him and was encouraging jim's wife to leave him. to say the least jim was destroyed.

you can catch and earlier post and easily see why jim is haunted with abandonment. the recent events took jim over the edge. he had three days of sobriety but i don't think he can stay sober knowing this. not sure what to do...
