Drama: A dramatic work that is that is intended for performance by actors on a stage.
Drama: An episode that is turbulent or highly emotional.
It is the second definition of drama that I hate, It seems to follow me or maybe I just drag it along with me.
My Ex, Madison, who is the father of my two fabulous daughters called again last night on Ariel's phone. He called last week saying he had been laid off his job. Ever since then I have had an uneasy feeling about it. He has a habit of truth bending.
He called last night like I said and told us that he was moving back to Memphis this weekend to go in to a three month alcohol rehabilitation program. And that is why he lost his very good job. Told you I had an uneasy feeling, trust your intuition.
So of course, he is wanting emotional support. Probably not from me but from his daughters. My youngest is rather detached from him even though she loves him but I knew Rachel would be very upset. She is alone in Berlin now and this would be hard for her. And it was. She called me today crying. She said she had already had a rough day at school and when she checked her email there was the one from her dad and she broke down in front of everyone. That is what really pisses me off. He does not "get" how every thing he does has a chain reaction. Or he just does not care, not really.
I hope this program helps him because he is not a kid. Not too many more chances to go. One of his best friends died last month in a nursing home from liver failure (alcoholism). He was not that old, he killed himself.
I do not understand why it is that there are a lot of males in my generation who have what I refer to as the "Peter Pan" syndrome. They do not want to grow up and as a consequence they steal from their children.

Nancy I can totally relate to this from your daughter’s side because my dad is an alcoholic. I think it is so sad that I am 19 and act more mature than him most of the time. I think that it is really good that he is actually going to a rehabilitation center because most people wont even admit that they have a problem. Hope things get better!
I hate hearing about another situation where there is a slacking father. I don't understand why men know the way society thinks of them and they still continue to prove the negativity true. I don't know him, so I can't say that he is a bad parent or anything, but I do hope his problem gets better.
