Hi, all. I've been reading tonight- a new book by a dad about his daughter's mental illness (though as of yet they haven't mentioned s diagnosis.) It's called Hurry Down Sunshine.

As for drinking, my sister told me that recently our dad told her that he'd stopped drinking- when his father died he stopped. All these years he'd been trying to rid himself of his dad's abuse apparently even to the point of just his still being alive kept his alcoholism alive? His dad died several years ago, now. I hope it's true but you can see how I'd be skeptical.
