My wife's in jail and my daughter is with her grandparents. Stepson is with his dad and doing very well.
I feel disgraced, and yet fortunate. It's everything all at once. It's pride versus reality, life versus drunk. It's life as we live it; it's brilliant.
It's everything all at once, some shovel that pushes us into understanding. I've endrunkened with a few of you, and it's always been a hoot.
Watch a flick together and you get a synch. Talk enough and you get a synch.
Synch always grows, and you wind up knowing people you didn't.
This works better than the church for this, 'cause we stop the care and engage it at the same time. We bond for stupid reasons that actually matter, here and now. We do things in the present tense.
Do we care for one another? Here and there, yes, though we have our moments of "FUCK YOU WORLD."
We suffer with and as the world, we are models and strange shamans. We hold the world in our hands, but our hands are so sweaty, we lose grasp and track. We drop the marbles and spend a day seeking what was lost, when we could actually skip steps and regather our senses, theoretically.
Reality has us still sweating, still shaking, still unsure of any damn thing, except that we'll feel better, so why stop?

Re: The art of disgrace
Life shits on us all sometimes. We are allowed to seek solace in our brethren, the global Drunkard community. I know we've discussed these topics, I'm over due for Drunkchat and dd's again. Sometimes you just need to get shit-faced and wake up naked in the living room and pretend you were sent back in time.

Re: The art of disgrace
Take to heart everything already said here. Disgrace is a relatively rare state for the dries to understand, so relish it. True disgrace is a thing of beauty. I've had my share, and after shaking off the short-term effects, disgrace let's you see things in a clear and bright lens of clarity.

Dear Lady S., I fear that you are 5 months late to the "Disgrace Party". However, should you choose to go to "Chat", where you will find WPoT (or "Fungal Monk", as he is known there) a constant attendee, and offer your support and/or good wishes; I am most certain that either or both, will be very gratefully received.Savage wrote:Oh my dear.

Re: The art of disgrace
Well, you know, the world turns.
We had a "final decree" hearing in September. Wife filed an answer late, got us a court date again. I'm paying for this shit. That's an extra hour or two to be billed, dammit. I hoped for an escrow refund, but whatever.
So now, I have physical custody. I'm also living with the damn-near ex again. Once DFCS case was closed, I lacked a legal leg.
But we're getting along, and her boobs are bigger. Win/win? Lib is pleased that mommy is home. I am too, but once again she is not again. She's still not 30, and we all know that age rocks some socks into you.
But but but again, don't care. Daughter is safe. Wife is now an ex, yet we sleep together. Not quite official, but nearly so. Signatures make things official, but carport talk is really official.
We decree reality as the ones in touch at the basest of levels, vile drunks we be.

Re: The art of disgrace
I married into a family where my husband's ex is a criminal, his boy (or maybe not his boy) is a regular visitor of the jailhouse. I never knew people who were familiar with the legal system. Wow. Welcome to my world, now--for the last several decades. I really do not understand this whole criminal mindset. Grumpy's ex is a scumbag, and her boy is in and out of prison... what the hay, hey? How hard is it to act decent?

Re: The art of disgrace
yeah I agree, feeling disgraced has given me some of my most powerful insights into my life, like - why am I feeling disgraced? who am I answerable to? who is really responsible for certain situations that have occurred etc.Aloysius_of_Tahiti wrote:Take to heart everything already said here.

it helps if you can take a nihilistic view on life and decide nothing really matters and you can come up with your own values I think.
I used to be religious i'm not any more, feeling disgraced sucked when I was religious.
