Narcissistic Descent Into Alcoholism

 Around the time that my ex-husband and I were living in Sherman Oaks and he was working on a huge and important project, he began his descent into alcoholism with what is commonly called Boiler Makers.

His temper was just under the surface and if you looked at him wrong and he would flair up into one of his alcoholic rages and throw his captain's chair and yelling...lots of yelling.

Then his nocturnal wandering began.  

He would rise from his sleep and start looking for a place to pee. He would pee in the trash in the kitchen a lot, go outside into our back yard and he even tried to pee in my closet.

With four children to raise he no longer was the center of attention and that did not sit very well with his narcissistic personality. He held a pretty important position and had people "yes siring" him all day at work.  He needed that type of adoration at home and it wasn't happening.
