DePressMe….
You showed an enormous amount of emotional sobriety with your father.
When you said… “I am grateful to be sober and although I wish my father was sober, I accept him for who he is...I love my father.” I can count on one hand the number of people who can say that and mean it! Good for you.

I don’t post here as often as I might, but your emotional and spiritual growth deserves acknowledgment.
