Okay, how many people on here can not remember what they did last night from 5:00 p.m. on? Just wondering? Would your timeline change two or three days from now? Mine wouldn't.
I ate dinner with my husband at 5:00 p.m., finished about 5:20 p.m., cleared the table, put the dishes in the dishwasher, fed the dog and let her out, it was then 6:00 p.m., sat and watched the news. At 7:00 p.m. got on the computer for an hour, then came out to the t.v. room and watched television with my husband until 9:30 p.m.. Read in bed until we got tired and fell asleep around 10:00p.m. Woke up at 1:30 a.m. to use the bathroom, fell back to sleep until 6:00 a.m. when my dog woke me up, she had to go out. No lapses in memory, no trips to the store that I forgot.
When my children were younger, my husband and I had a routine we followed every evening. Before going to bed we always checked to make sure both front and back doors were locked, then turned off the lights in the living area, checked all the children before going to our bedroom. We would never think of going to bed without checking the doors or our children and it was the same every night. We seldom drank in our home, unless we had company or we went out with friends, a rare occurance, but we limited our drinking to two, no more, we knew we were still parents when we returned home and had a responsibility to our children in case there was an emergency, that is what being a parent is about, being responsible for them and doing all you can to protect them.
I still don't believe that DB was drunk, IMO she is using that as an excuse because she wants everyone to think that is why she is having trouble remembering. DB knows what happened, that is why her timeline keeps changing, because most of the things she said she did, didn't actually happen. If they did, she would remember. It is easier to say you are a drunk than to admit you harmed your child. JMHO
Years ago my family was faced with a terrible event, yet to this day I could tell you word for word what we were doing before our world began to spin out of control. No lapses of memory, never has been, even though it turned our world upside down for awhile.
