I am willing to bet that Rush was pretty much the person he has always been through each one, and his wife was the one who changed.

*************

Maybe during Rush’s first two marriages that is how it was. During his last one, he became a drug addict. Have you ever been around a drug addict? They do not remain “pretty much the person they have always been”.

Rush became a drug addict to be able to function with the back pain. Kinda different in my book from someone who snorts coke for fun.

Yes. I spent several years trying to help talk a heroin addict down off a ledge.

I don’t know about Rush Limbaugh’s personal life behind doors. He could be abusive for all I know.

I just don’t think the basic person changes, although that leaves scars.

But that really isn’t the point on this thread, is it?

A lot of people seem to want him to fail (ironic that) because she is younger than him and it is multiple marriages for him.

I don’t get that. Rush Limbaugh does a lot for the conservative movement, in my opinion. We should be pulling for him to succeed, not only for our political sake of having someone who tells it as many of us see it, but for his own personal sake.

Just my opinion.

Also, my dad was an alcoholic for at least fifty years. But even though his personality changed when he kicked it late in life, he was the same person. Exactly.

Now, he was never bad evil or abusive when he drank. He just drank himself into a stupor and never said a word. But he was the same man.
