fathersnot seen mine in 20yrs no intention of ever seeing him again ever

my grandmother was an alcoholic and dies from related problems. My mum remains sad that she didn't think her family were worth living for so I do understand. but it's not really that simple is it. Alcoholism has a way of insulating you from normal feelings, its a bit like being a drug addict.

We are a family riddled with alocholics either dead or reformed. No living, unreformed ones tellingly.

stepfordwife · 26/07/2007 14:48

oh sushi, that's so sad. i'm sorry. One of my great sadnesses (after my dad dying) is also that he never saw his grandchildren and ds1 (named after him) is his spitting image, too.

stepfordwife · 26/07/2007 14:49

..and he woiuld have been a real partner in crime

SushiMummy · 26/07/2007 14:53

Yes, I've been lurking on the alcoholic thread on MN for a while to try to understand the disease. I know my dad had had problems with his business and this probably triggered his drinking. It's too late now but I still feel guilty not being able to help.

SushiMummy · 26/07/2007 15:29

Steppie, I wanted to name DS after my dad, too. Or rather mixture of DH's dad and my dad's name and came up with WILMOTT and DH said 'no, he's not a fxxking hamster!'

Kewcumber · 26/07/2007 16:45

think I am with your DH on that one sushi!

eleusis · 26/07/2007 17:23

Alcoholism is a nasty beast which knows no rational thought. You couldn't have done anything, Sushi. You didn't cause it and you can't cure it.

stepfordwife · 26/07/2007 19:56

hmmm. yep, can see your dh's point, too, sushi...

stepfordwife · 26/07/2007 19:57

..not that i'm hamster-ist..

SushiMummy · 26/07/2007 20:17

I felt really clever when I came up with the name, tho. My other suggestions were TOKYO and NAKANO (where DS was conceived) and DH didn't even consider them.

stepfordwife · 27/07/2007 08:42

quite like nakano for a name, sushi
well, this is probably very sexist of me, but i do firmly believe the mother should have the final say on my names.
as i said to dh:"look, matey, when you've squeezed a baby through your willy, you can choose all the bloody names you want, all RIGHT?"

stepfordwife · 27/07/2007 08:42

ANY names.

SushiMummy · 27/07/2007 09:11

Have you had your coffee yet, Steppie?

Kewcumber · 27/07/2007 09:56

yes but how would Nakano work in Japan? Would it be the equivalent of calling your child "Blackpool"?

eleusis · 27/07/2007 10:07

It would be like calling him Brooklyn (as in Beckham).

SushiMummy · 27/07/2007 10:09

Indeed QC. Nanako is a boring town and no-one would want to call their DC 'Gunnersbury' or 'Kingston' or 'Blackpool' unless you are Victoria Beckham.

I would say to mark off Sat 13th and Sat 20th of October in your calendars as these currently are the dates with the most people on. So KC/paddle and anyone else not down yet will that suit?

Also, if Nanou's going away party ends up on Set. 7 some of the Sept. dates might be abit too soon after the last night out.

ComeOVeneer · 27/07/2007 13:11

Has a venue been discussed for Nanou's do?

OP posts:
eleusis · 27/07/2007 13:14

No, thought we'd settle the date first. Then worry about venue. I'll probably just ask her where she wants to go -- seeing how it's her party.

eleusis · 27/07/2007 13:14

Although, if you have any suggestions feel free to speak.

SushiMummy · 27/07/2007 13:23
