I need to write this down in fear of being savaged

[Sammyspurs]

Hi fellow mums netters…
I feel like I need to write this down here because everyone I know feel like I’m in the wrong- so am I?!
before I start I’m already massively ashamed of this so no need to tell me I’m an awful person …
I went to an event over the weekend with a group of people (I never mix my social circles and this was the 1st time ever!)
the event started one of the girls who came with me ended up with a different group, however, knew that out taxi was picking us up at a specific time and pick up point. throughout the night I got way too drunk and needed to take myself away from the event and decided to get my ex who I’m still friends with to collect me- I text the group chat to tell them this and where I would meet them
one person got lost getting back to the taxi/decided to stay with the group they went off with and the taxi spent an hour waiting for them. But I have been told I broke their trust and it’s all my fault as I took my very drunk self away from a situation
am I a terrible person? Thanks for reading- I’m probably waffling

I am not sure why you’re massively ashamed or what part of the behaviour
sounds like drunken decisions and everyone did get home ok

It’s a bit confusing I’m afraid but it sounds as if you got too drunk to make sensible decisions and it got messy. However, nobody got hurt and everyone got home ok in the end.

Looking back at the things you do when drunk through a hangover is horrible. Theres a solution - think about a two-drink maximum when going out, or even try not drinking for a while. It’s easier than it’s ever been to do this, non-alcoholic options are more varied and more available. You might surprise yourself.

Were they waiting an hour for you or for the girl who went off? Were you were in charge of getting people home and the taxi couldn't leave one person behind then yes it's you that's in the wrong as you should have either rounded them all up, or let someone know one person had decided to go elsewhere.

It sounds to me like this is totally on you. You can grandstand on about how wise you were to take yourself out of the situation but the truth seems to be that you buggered off with your ex without fulfilling promises you'd made It or possibly letting others know what was going on. Time to take a look at how much you drink.
