And so? Read my original comment. I said I didn’t like his politics. I never specified party affiliation. I find neither the Republican nor Libertarian platforms appealing. 

I don’t think it’s easy to put him in the Republican camp.

He’s like a more smoldering version of Chris Evans, but I can’t muster up lusty feelings for him out of concern he may share his father’s politics. 

Also weekend service. 

Indeed, but it’s a lot easier to picture the second borns or the family rebels (ie: Margaret, Harry, Fergie, etc) in this menagerie than Charles. I would expect him to hobnob with the likes of Martha Stewart or Emma Thompson or maybe Bono, not Courtney Love.

I’m responding to people calling her a “saint” and the “greatest woman on earth.” I don’t need to be attaching blame to point out that this behavior shouldn’t be held up as laudable because that also suggests that it’s modelworthy, and it’s not. And I don’t understand why you’re getting personal and nasty, so I’m…

I’m not blaming her, the opposite in fact. I’m saying she needs to let his problem be his problem and stop trying to fix it, even if it’s painful to witness because in the long run, there’s a deep risk of building unhealthy dynamics. Nor am I projecting. I’m speaking from my experience as a relationship counselor and …

Thank you. You just spared me from having to type that myself.

I don’t concede your point because there are multiple examples of famous wealthy people finding sobriety, but if I did, I’d argue that in which case, hitting bottom for Affleck might need to mean the loss of his family in which case she’s doing him no long term favors here. It’s really troubling to me how dedicated…

This really does look like rejected cover art of the surviving Dollanganger kids fleeing Foxworth Hall.

I’ve always wanted them to do one called The New Yorkers where everyone wears dark colors and discusses subway directions. 

Maybe Elton had to leave before Kirstie got there but Charles still had some time to kill and also kinda wanted to stick around because he heard Kirstie was on her way and he’s secretly a fan of Fat Actress and Courtney is just fascinating to be around. I’m still utterly amazed by the pairing, but thinking about it, I…

Counterpoint: All these people.

Also, even Courtney and Kirstie seems like an odd connection, but I wracked my brain and Kirstie Alley > Cheers > Woody Harrelson > People v. Larry Flynt > Courtney Love.

Yes! Does the mind not rebel at the notion of Prince Charles noshing on a plate of charcuterie in Courtney Love’s kitchen like it’s no big deal?

You know about rock bottom, right? You’re supposed to let them hit it. He’s sought and successfully completed treatment on his own before, before they ever met. I unsure why you think you’re informed on this than the entire psychology and substance abuse treatment community. 

That doesn’t make it any less codependent. Addicts need to fix themselves.

Sure. Codependence is awesome.

She didn’t divorce him because of drinking, she divorce him for infidelity. He started drinking again once he was on his own.

“I’m friends with Courtney Love and one time, she asked me to dinner and when I came, ah, what’s his name? Elton John was at dinner and there were only four of us. And then another time, she asked me over for ‘snacks’ and Prince Charles was there.”
