I can kind of relate to this.
My dad was an alcoholic, and he wasn't really sober much.
It's not that he was a terrible father
I just didn't really know better.
My parents got a divorce when I was 12
I was 14 when he stopped drinking.
I'm 15 now.
Even though he was "there" with me
Knowing that he wasn't sober makes it different
My mom & I think that he drank so much to drink us away
I was always in the way of what he wanted to do
My mom was too.
So he drank and drank until we didn't matter anymore
And he says that I'm so important to him
But why did he just now quit?
Why couldn't he have done it while my mom and I were still living with him?
Were we not a good enough reason for him to straighten his act up?
