Why don’t you have sympathy for someone who admits he himself is responsible for all he lost and who is taking responsibility for himself and his family? He’s not in jail or on welfare and he’s not blaming Whitey.

It doesn't sound as if he is asking for sympathy.

As for me, I respect his decision to "fess up" and admit his mistakes.

I was feeling sympathetic until he blamed alcoholism; he's still blaming something else for his failings, when the problem is himself. I do wish him the best, but I've known people who blame booze, while not acknowledging that the problem is them. I also know drunks, who admit that they are the problem and the boozing is just a crutch and an excuse. I get along quite well with them and have great respect for them.
