having worked on a ward which treats such patients, its always the relatives that suffer the most.....many of the pateints have some sort of early acceptance that they brought this on themselves - i suppose thats why gb had his pic in the paper a couple of days ago with the headline 'dont end up like me'....i didnt agree with the pic being published cos i thoguht it unfair for others who may have liver cancer/disease to see what 'the end' may be like for them......there are somethings you just dont want to know about.
im sure he had his own demons to deal with.

Funny you said that about Callum as my Husband was watching that clip yesterday on Sky and I could see such pain in his eyes.

His own Dad passed away in October this year back in Australia (incidently of cancer) and made me realise that people live there lives the way they want to and at the end of the day Callum has just lost his Dad.

who are we to judge someone for living their life any way they want to...... if someone does not do things the way we want is that wrong?.....I think not
George Best had his life and you got yours....he lived it hard and fast and I recon he enjoyed it in the most part

My Dad was an alcoholic, not only did he break his wife's heart he broke ours too.

He left when i was 4 years old and never came back to see me except once when i was 11 years old and he was so pissed he forgot my name.

Living with an alcoholic is living with a liar, cheat and a let down !!! :(

Yes I know from my own experience. I still love them though and that is just it, can't help who you love even if they hurt you. We should not judge anyone.
