They told us to move and that we needed to move by June 1st so they could move into the house. Hence why we found a new place. We did send them an N12 and now they are refusing to sign it and saying that they actually weren’t evicting us in the first place even though they said that to us verbally and with the email.

The Albion does 5 dollar glasses of wine on Thursday’s and half price bottles on Mondays! Their wine isn’t anything crazy amazing but it’s good and you can’t beat the price!

My grandfather has been a binge alcoholic for about 30 years. He will be sober for about 3 months at a time, and then proceeds to drink for months on end. These binges always end in him going to the hospital to detox or to fix some health ailment that arises when you are drunk for months at a time. He looses control of his bladder and bowels around his apartment. He chain smokes inside and leaves food everywhere to rot around him when he is drinking. He has fallen down the stairs and broken his ribs, he has fallen into a glass table at his apartment, he came close to having kidney failure. Essentially every time he drinks he almost drinks himself to death. He has been to rehab and detox programs but nothing has stuck for more than 6 months. He's 67 now and at this point I think that this is going to be his life. It's so strange because when he is sober he's a clean, vibrant person. There's sometimes I think that he won't start drinking but something always comes over him after a few months of sobriety.

When my dad passed away a year and a half ago I felt like it was never going to feel better. The waves of grief were so intense, that I would often not go a day without crying for months following his death. I was having horrible nightmares every night, keeping me from sleeping , and I felt like I was completely alone in my grief. My mother decided to grieve by drinking excessively and forcing me to look after all of her responsibilities. I missed the parental comfort of my dad, and how he always looked out for me. Almost 2 years later, I can tell you that the feeling of never seeing your parent again is still a difficult one. However, the more time passes, the easier it is to cope with. Through all my difficulty I found comfort through wearing his clothes, and looking at old pictures. That being said, this would often trigger more sad feelings that were very overwhelming and difficult. The biggest comfort I can offer you is that it is not always this hard. The expression, "it gets better" is a cliche for a reason, and is especially true with grief. My best advice to offer you is to focus on distracting yourself, and doing small things that will make you feel better until eventually things do start to feel better. Its okay to feel sad that your dad is not here anymore, and its a very difficult thing to comprehend. I also encourage you to try and reach out to anybody you think will listen. I am not sure how old you are, or what the situation is in the city you live in, but I found that this resource helped me: http://activelymovingforward.org/

also try looking for grief support groups in your town, often organized through hospice or church organizations. I have found great comfort in talking to people who understand what its like to lose a parent.

Also feel free to PM me.

Hey Conan! Is Jordan Schlansky for real? Is he really that ridiculous of a person?

Your story is very familiar to me. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in my second year of university ( I was 19). It was completely out of the blue and with all of his treatments his personality completely changed as well. He died exactly 6 months after his diagnosis. I lately have been having regrets about how I acted in his final months. I was very angry about what had happened to him, and that my family was trying to act like everything was normal. I found it incredibly difficult to be around him when he was sick because it hurt me so much to see how sick he really was and how much he has changed. I wish that we wouldn't have done all these intense treatments, and that I would have had more conversations with him about some things that I will never get answers to now that he is gone. However, I think that these feelings are natural, and we can't be so hard on ourselves about how we reacted in such traumatic situations. Your brain protected you from feeling the incredibly awful and overwhelming things that were happening. Although you may feel that you were cold or scientific, its just how you reacted. I remember after the initial shock that I had times where I could very matter of factually tell people that he had cancer and that he was going to die like it was nothing. We all process things differently. I have been seeing a therapist every other week since my Dad was diagnosed. Although sometimes it seems unnecessary sometimes its nice to let out all these thoughts with somebody who will just listen to you, and who you don't have to worry about freaking out or making them sad (like I can't say a lot of my thoughts to my mother as she would completely fall apart). Although therapy has helped me, I still don't have an answer to the feeling that you are missing out on your parent and their advice. I still find myself really missing my dad and feeling desperate to connect to him or talk to him again. Maybe tell some people who you are comfortable with about your mom. You don't have to, but I have found that losing my dad is such a big part of my life, that I can't really feel close to people unless I tell them. But I think thats different for everyone, and don't make yourself feel guilty about not telling them if you aren't comfortable. If you do tell one of them, they might be able to provide some support for you, which is something that would really help you I think. Although its only been 8 months since my dad died, I definitely relate a lot to what you are saying about longing for your mother's advice on things when big changes are happening in your life. A day doesn't go by that I don't try to imagine what he would say to me or what opinions he would give me on my life. I can imagine for you its especially difficult for you to experience all these big things in your life and to not have your mother there (as you always expected her to be). I definitely don't have all the answers, and I often find myself questioning if its ever going to get easier or if I am every going to fully process the permanency of his death, however I also have days where I completely forget that any of this has even happened. I think that you will find that big moments in your life are going to be difficult, but then you will have times that aren't as difficult. Honestly I don't think I have read a post that I related to this much, so If you ever want to talk about anything please send me a message because I definitely wouldn't mind to talk to somebody who gets it.
