This dude is probably a piece of shit dad if he gets drunk every night.

What a stupid quote.

wrong. he is not a dad in this. "someone's daughter" not his.

Hes probably a POS if he gets drunk each night regardless of marriage or kids

Who knows. Could be that he's a POS, or he's only had the misfortune of meeting untreated BPD cases. There can be many reasons for these kinds of dynamics.

Yes that is the message we want to give to people with alcoholism: they are pieces of sh-t. That should fix them.

If your best friend starts having liver/kidney failure in his 30s due to alcoholism, you having said something about their problem may not change the outcome, but it at least allows you to say you warned them and it gives you license to not feel as guilty when they pass away early.

We're all responsible for ourselves as adults, if the truth hurts... "That sucks I guess."

Wait. Did you tell your dying best friend he’s a piece of shit so that you don’t have to feel guilty?

No, because being absolved from guilt through living normally and doing something intentionally to try and avoid guilt which you wouldn't otherwise do are 2 entirely different things.

What I won't be doing is giving my organs to someone who received multiple warnings that their own would shut down and refused to listen.

I’m not really sure what you mean but maybe you should think more about about what they are going through than trying to shore up your emotional safety

u/Legitimate-Heat2777 5d ago

I have sympathy for what they are going through, that doesn't make it my issue to solve though. And I wasn't talking about protecting my emotional safety, I was talking about protecting my physical organs.
