Just a Guy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi Rain, You haven't told us about your BF's views on the matter and what his feelings are. If he is cool with the whole thing then maybe he can work on his parent to change their views. I do hope your relationship with him is on a good footing. Best wishes!

elaine567 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Don't be 100% sure of that. And that's why I said you need to focus on you before trying to focus on anyone else. Alcohol lowered your inhibitions, it didn't just turn you into someone completely different. I don't think you realize that. That is true. Alcohol often just uncovers our true selves, and I guess that is why his parents want you out of his life. YOU are an abusive drunk. Domestic violence against men is not unheard of, and his parents understandably want him out of that situation. They are aware of what you are capable of, and they do not like it. Giving up drinking, is a good thing, but I guess, no-one really believes you are giving up drinking FOR LIFE. They will be worried that an extra glass of wine sometime, a birthday party, some champagne at a celebration perhaps, and you will again hurt their son. I doubt they will ever forget. As DV can be hidden away by the victim too, I guess they may also feel that their son is being regularly abused by you and this episode was the tip of the iceberg, and so they just want to save him.
