Disturbed

Just watched that very cool "30 days" program on FX. I know I always watch that kind of stuff, but this one was especially poiniant. In fact it so unhinged me that I couldn't even play the bloody game afterwards.

The program was about a women that saw how her daughter was acting at college, all the binge drinkin' and that.

So this women who didn't drink more than a glass of wine in a night spends the next 30 days drinking at least 4 beers or equivalent a day. So off she goes and the first day she goes and gets plastered after the first couple of glasses then starts throwing up. As you do.

Half way through she's still not getting through to her kid, who is just laughing and dissing her. “What ever Mom, you have no idea what your talkin' about.” This after the girl was going on about how she normally doesn't remember what the hell went on the night before. You can guess what I'm thinkin'. “oh crap, my two are going to do that. I freakin' well did it”. Bloody hell.

All the way through the show this girl is watching her mother get worse and worse. Dude by the end this women was a raging head case. To try and get the point across she went on a four day bender. During which she hung out with a load of her daughters mates. Who started telling her shit like, keep her thumb over top of your bottle, so no-one can slip you a Mikey. Argh!

What the hell is a Dad to do? I'm three freakin' thousand miles away! Weep How do I keep em safe from the man ho's like my brothers were and later became..

Spoke to J&P earlier as well as ma Mum, hi mum. So I'm probably a tad homesick.
