I picked up the drink, threw it in her face and stormed out.
Now my friends are mad at ME for causing a scene and embarrassing HER. I admit I lost my temper, but I feel she was totally in the wrong. I have tried to talk to them about how I felt about her disregarding my sobriety, but it’s falling on deaf ears. Is there any way to fix this?Everyone in that crowd knows you have a problem with alcohol. Your friends should have interceded to stop that woman’s bullying when it first started.
That she would actually sneak a spiked drink to you was very dangerous, and I’m glad you caught on to the deception. She deserved the reaction she got for trying to sabotage you. “Fix” this by socializing with other members of the group without this couple, or find some new friends. P.S. That this woman has such a problem with you abstaining from alcohol indicates to me that she has real problems of her own.I am childless -- not by choice -- and I have a hard time with this topic. I was married for 14 years and divorced at 39. I felt so hurt and betrayed I could barely function much less try to plan for the future and a family. Needless to say, the family I hoped for never happened. My siblings don’t have children either.
I don’t feel as though I have a real “family,” and when holidays, birthdays and Mother’s Day roll around, it adds to my stress and depression. It also doesn’t help when I meet new people always having to face the question of children. How do you advise someone barely shy of 60 on how to fill this HUGE void in my life and/or cure the heartache that seems to mount as the years roll by?One of the surest ways to battle the blues is to do something for someone else.
