My dad also drinks. im 21 now and a marine but it still lingers in my mind. ive only been really drunk 4 times and that was me being stupid in high school. my family for the most part are extreamest by nature so i know i have to watch what i do.
i dip any where from 1 to 2 cans of tabacco a day and i hardly ever drink. i have ADHD as well so im just not drinking anymore becasue i dont what to know how i will be on my adderall. i know its tough my dad gets loud and crazzy as hell. he drinks because his body herts so bad but he cant afford to get all the things done that needs done. he just got told his thyroid doest worky anymore at 39 so its been going for a long time and thats what has caused most of his pain. he was doing really good untill his mom passed 5 years ago and it sent him over the edge agin. but all in all we only really fought once when i was 18. he was drunk and something stupid happened and it went from fun to HOLY CRAP in 2.5 seconds. i was sore for a few days but i got him good. his ribs hert for weeks.

so you can take it from me i have been there and it does suck but it could always be worse. youll learn when its time to go sit in your room because things are about to get out of controll. when you get old enough and move out dont stop talking to them thow. i still talk to my mom and dad almost every weekend. your the one that keeps them from taking it to far. at least im hoping so.

just dont be like the majority of the world (including me to some fault) and let this hold you down and make your path for life. take it and it will make you stronger and go with it. become what ever you want to be.
