You wrote on my post that everyone has difficulties in their lives and it is how we deal with them that matters. You know this woman, you have a history. You have a child together. Dont react just yet. Wait it out some. There is still time before the holiday. There may be some way to have it work out, just like Sad said.
You are very important. Your son, your Dad and even your brother need you. Alcohol may make you feel less pain for a moment, but you said it keeps you from being able to get good work done. Dont quit quitting!!!
I think you should just call it what it is. You have had a bad day. Now, move on. Onwards and upwards.
