I don't think I could forgive him for a very long time, if ever, if it were truly his choice to drink, get drunk, be blacked out while in charge of my children, or anyone else's, and something happen to one of them.
Leave him? I believe I would have to. I don't think I could stand to be with someone that would put my child in harms way, and I'm not even talking just about Lisa missing on this. Do not take being left in charge of my children lightly. It's one of the most important things to do in life. They're little...they need complete supervision!
Throw him to the wolves in front of LE and media? The person making these choices is the one throwing themselves to the wolves. I believe DB did that herself when she made her choice. Surely she didn't think it through and think that we'd all feel so bad for her I mean after all she was just having adult time that she deserved. :waitasec:
Ugh! I'm just fed up with so many parents thinking that it's all about them. If you have kids, until they're grown it should never be about you. Heck, even after they're grown you're still the parent.

This is the key part though. What if there was no intent there? Yes, I understand, it was a horrible choice she made that night (if true) but what if things just happened, she got drunk and went to bed? I can understand if there was a history of it but what if that's not the case?
What if you've always known your husband to be loving and caring and never do a thing to harm/endanger your kids, just made a mistake one night, a mistake that he himself will live with for the rest of his life? You say that it, ok your choice and your entitled to that. But actions speak louder than words, once the anger dies down and your just left with trying to find your child, then what?
