I don’t ever remember thinking that my dad was an alcoholic. I thought he was like everyone else’s dad.
And his forever lasting words to me were “Reach for the moon Gem, you will always land amongst the stars. I will always be your Dad”.
I’d buy cards just to feel normal. “To Dad” on the envelope.
I wish I had the words to say how scared I was to come home everyday.
Scared and lonely is what she feels
I felt helpless. Everyone kept telling me ‘she needs to help herself’ but she wouldn’t get the help.
Although we got through those difficult times, the price we paid will never be refunded.
I’m finding it very difficult to come to terms with my loss.
All I wanted was for her to love us, to love me, and I think she did but just could not show it.
