You take a coupIe of days off. Okay?
1:39:12
I just don't know if I know what Iove is.
1:39:18
It's not fair.
1:39:21
Fair?
1:39:22
Who ever toId you
that reIationships were fair?
1:39:26
ReIationships are not fair.
1:39:34
They're battIes.
1:39:37
They're battIes for supremacy.
1:39:40
What?
1:39:42
Honey, you have any idea how many years
I had to Iive with your father's drinking?
1:39:47
-Do you reaIize what a battIe that was?
-I know, Mom.
1:39:51
And that's why you heIped him quit,
because it wasn't fair.
1:39:55
October 15, 1988.
1:39:59
That was it. That was the day he stopped.
I remember that day Iike it's yesterday.
1:40:05
It was a Tuesday,
and he hasn't had a drop since.
1:40:10
-Because you made it happen.
-That's it.
1:40:15
And now every day's a struggIe.
1:40:18
What?
1:40:20
Sweetheart...
1:40:23
...since Daddy's stopped drinking...
1:40:28
...we have...
1:40:34
...Iost our spark.
1:40:38
I know that it's wrong of me to say it, but...
1:40:43
...I miss your father the way he was.
1:40:47
But he's...
1:40:50
...an aIcohoIic.
1:40:51
And I was a cIassic codependent.
I know that.
1:40:54
UntiI I forced myseIf
to stop caring about him.
1:40:58
UntiI I forced him
to deaI with his own probIems.
