Good news

You'd never know it from my sad music choices today, but I'm over-the-moon happy with the progress in my neighbor's custody case. Dad seems to be throwing in the towel, and not in angry withdrawal either, but with an apparently sincere desire to get himself right and repair his relationship with his daughter. It's always possible he'll really get sober. I think it's a good sign that he's not making extravagant promises about it, but is getting help.

This is good news, but it's not news I trust.

Alcoholism is tough, and it's permanent. Alcoholics can get their addiction under control, but it's hard. Caring about his kids will help, though.

It would be a fine thing if it turned out to be to the good of everyone; but it was still worth doing for the sake of the one.
