    I don't think you should go.
    But I have unusual views on the matter of "obligation".
    Life is about doing what you feel is Right.
    Not doing what you feel is expected or demanded of you.
    Only you can obligate yourself.

    Not attending is a fine way to state how you feel about it.

    I'm sad to hear this Jennifer. You should probably stay home if it causes you that much anguish. I would. I didn't go to my own father's funeral because of the childhood abuse and his life of drunken behaviour. My family got over it... I am sure you will be forgiven for not going. What does your Mom think?

    You've already said you don't want to be mean like your dad is. So regarding the wedding you only have two choices. Be nice and give him another chance and go. Or ignore the occasion as I originally suggested, maybe tell him you have to wash your hair, and stay home.

    What you gonna do?

    Which tells me he's available for marriage, but not what I would consider "marriage material".

    my point is, someone keeps marrying these guys, so those people must consider them marriage material.

  11. Well, I say go. He may not appreciate it now, but someday, somehow, it will mean something. Maybe it'll put him in a good mood for a week. I don't know.

    I would buy him a bottle of his favorite liquor, and leave it with a note that says, "Hope you die faster", because you are killing us. Watch how fast he drinks it, and you'll know whether you should skip Dallas altogether and get the fuck out of Dodge before he flips his wig altogether. Its hard to admit there's nobody home when its someone you love or wish you could love.

    I think you are making a wise decision. He doesn't sound stable.

    Impulse control is the big issue. The more you drink, the more your impulse control goes down the toilet and you say and do things you never would otherwise and can't imagine even why you said them and did them. Winos become what tribal people describe as a cockroach, with Groucho Marx and Oscar the Grouch being classic examples. The lights are on, but nobody is home, and there's nothing left but a bundle of bad habits and anger. Nobody's in charge anymore, and you might as well talk to the nearest wall.

    You could compare it to an adult version of a temper tantrum in a spoiled child who never stops lashing out at the world in anger. They might as well plug their ears and shout, "I can't hear you!" For all the difference it makes. Maybe they had a traumatic childhood and weren't breast fed or something, but the issue remains as to who the fuck do they want to become now and do you want anything to do with them.
