Why is there a drunken Sully on the steps leading up to Tim's apartment?

	There's a sharpie in my bedside table. [Papa] Once he's been sober longer I'll let Mom do the Mom thing. I think. Maybe. If she isn't pregnant, or in her season or anything crazy like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Consider it done. [Tim] Whatever you think is best, Tim. But I would like to meet him. Just let him know if he needs to talk to somebody that's not a psychiatrist and has actually been through what he's going through, he can give me a call any time. Doesn't matter when. I'd rather he wake me up than use again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks Papa. [Papa] That's really cool. Thanks. Though I'd rather he wake me up, I could distract him away from it. Maybe, I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know what you mean, but sometimes he needs someone that's had the same experiences. You haven't exactly how to deal with being a recovering alcoholic, for which I am very thankful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-21 07:09 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, you were a big influence on that, not being one. I mean I drink, but with you and Momma and Pops... I never did it in access or depended on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-21 07:17 am UTC (link)
	And right there you are automatically smarter than I am. I spent years watching my father drink himself into a stupor and become a total ass hat in the process and yet, I still became an alcoholic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-21 07:42 am UTC (link)
	I think that's probably why... I didn't watch you and Momma or anybody else do all that. You were exposed to it a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd think the bad example would render it an undesirable way to live. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-21 08:19 am UTC (link)
	You'd be surprised what bad stuff we see, that we end up doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-21 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Kind of weird how it works out that way. Either way, you're a good kid and I'm really glad about that. This guy better treat you right or he's not just going to have your mom to worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-22 01:30 am UTC (link)
	It is a little. And sometimes it works out the opposite. I mean I know my biological Dad, turned out kind of the opposite of his old man. Well, I wouldn't want anything to happen to him if he did, though. I mean, just because he hurts my feelings doesn't mean he should get beat up for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-22 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Is that a good thing? Hurting your feelings is one thing. Breaking your heart is another. And you'd be amazed what people can live through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-22 06:49 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, from what I can figure. I... didn't have a whole lot of experience with him. But I watched that show he was from. No, I don't want TJ hurt no matter what happens to me. Okay? I'm going to tell Momma the same thing. I don't care what he does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-22 06:55 am UTC (link)
	I knew him a little bit when he was here. He was a good man. You care about him that much, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-22 07:43 am UTC (link)
	He was pretty brave. It's not about me caring about him, it's about me caring about all of ya'll. But yeah, I'm out to help him. Not get him hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-22 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	You get that from him, you know? Not just from your mom. Alright, I promise to limit myself to a lot of yelling and threatening. How's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-22 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Being brave? I'm not brave. Well... We'll see it depends on what the offence is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-23 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	How can you say you're not brave, kid? There are a lot of different kinds of brave. How about this? If he does hurt you, which we're both hoping he doesn't, I'll ask you what you want me to do before doing anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-24 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Because when you're brave you do things, I haven't really had to ever realy do anything that proved that I was brave. I like that. I hope everybody else thinks about asking me first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-24 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Who made the first move, you or TJ? I'll make sure they do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-24 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Uh, He did I think? Thanks, Pa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-24 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Alright, let me put it this way. Willingly put yourself out there for someone like him. Being there for an addict, especially this early into sobriety. That, my dear boy, takes bravery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-24 07:13 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. It just seems like something anybody would do really. That's not really bravery is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim aedwardstark 2014-05-24 07:25 am UTC (link)
	It is bravery, Tim. I promise you that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Papa tim_dixon 2014-05-24 08:05 am UTC (link)
	Alright, if you say so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
