Horrible night

[GBfan]

Had a horrible night last night. Started off great, went to a festival then out for a few drinks. Stepson ended up getting extremely drunk like he always does and ended up getting kicked out off a bar. My anxiety was high before but went through the roof and I snapped. Ended up walking off and calling a lyft. Then my daughter and I fought because I walked off. Wake up this morning basically in a panic attack. Dont want to leave my bed. Feeling like I ruined the night and everyone is upset with me. Dont know how to handle this and really just want everyone to leave and have a really good cry....

then cry, there is nothing wrong with that, in fact it will help you to vent out and relieve the pressure. Regarding last night, I think you should not take responsibility for anything that happened, I do not like to drink a lot when I go out but if I am in company and someone who is with me begins to behave like a fool, I will most likely leave, I do not see that you have done anything wrong, there are people who do not know how to limit themselves to having a drink and having a good time but they must do a show and take the situation to the limit, do not blame yourself for what happened or let them blame you, you are adults and everyone owns their actions and consequences.

Sounds like you left a toxic situation. Nothing wrong with that. Just take care of yourself first and everyone else sounds like grown adults that need to take care of their situation.

Sounds like drinking isn’t a good mix for many reasons.

Take care of your self today, rest and clear heads will prevail. Talk with your son and daughter, hopefully you will put some closure to what happened.

I did talk to my daughter and we are fine. I cannot bring myself to talk to my step son. This happens everytime we go out. He has gone home now and I have decided that I am not going to be around him when there is any alcohol involved. My husband will not understand but I will deal with that at that point. I just need to tell myself to focus on me and everyone can take care of themselves. Thank you everyone for responding. It really does help to post on here and talk to people that actually undertand...

Sounds to me like you did the right thing. If it were me, I would avoid going out with step son if there is going to be alcohol involved. You need to take care of yourself, and do Not apologize to anyone for protecting yourself, if they cannot handle it it is their problem. Be good to yourself, put yourself first and listen to that inner voice, it usually does not let us down. I hope you are feeling free today and have a nice day......sending love and hugs.....Sprinkle 1....
