Not to be celebrity-obsessed or anything, but Mel Gibson’s drunk, evil alter-ego has done it again–ranting, raving, and abusing his ex-girlfriend, the mother of one of his children. One wonders what his rock bottom will be: murder? Which brings to mind the question: Since celebs seem to get away with so much, do alcoholic celebs have to hit a lower low than mere mortal alcoholics to be called out on their behavior. His agent’s dropped him. His reputation is in tatters. What next?
Usually, abusers hide under many layers of denial, but this time, Mel Gibson’s been caught. On tape. Acknowledging to his ex that he hit her, using the “but you deserved it” line.
It’s hard not to feel like bashing Mel Gibson, after all the nasty things he’s said to and about so many people. But still, underneath all those hideous words lies the spectre of alcoholism. Sad, but true.
Which brings me to my next question: Have you ever been verbally or physically abused by a lover who was drunk? Take our anonymous poll.

I was madly in love with a drunk, In the process he has tol me that everytime we have been together he was drunk, we ahave been seeing each other for the last seven years and I have also acquired an STD from him that I cannot get rid of and he told me that he has been wanting to get away from me. An again stated that he has been drunk and then he added high for the whole time we have been seeing each other.
