Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
I feel trapped in wifehood and motherhood and sisterhood; I lash out; I become a monster.
  • Only a step away

    I've done so many stupid things, a few that I deeply regret. Can you guess what the common denominator was?

    The booze. Bad stuff after one or two, just bad any way you look at it.

    LW, it can take you down for good. What an opportunity, that you are realizing it now and not in 20 years looking back on a demolished life. Some of these letters seem helpful, this is one sharp peanut gallery we have here! Cary's story is important here too. Madness is always a step away, no need to assist your own demise.

    Can you do a glass of wine or two with dinner and stop there? If the answer is no, I'll chime in and say get help quick. I've been thinking about the candid urgency of your letter since last night and feel badly for all involved. You aren't alone even though you feel misunderstood. You will be entirely alone if you keep this up though.

    Make sure too that your purse isn't filled with quarters (funny, XJs).
