I realised that I had kept all my feelings bottled inside me for so many years.
I am still haunted by those childhood memories of my father’s drinking.
Us 3 lived on the pub doorsteps with bottles of lemonade sent out every hour.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s never blame yourself for your parent’s drinking.
I cannot accept your drinking any more, but live in the hope that you will stop.
Hopefully you will read and possibly reread what I have put down.
I hope mum, that you won’t be angry or upset with me sharing this.
If it’s only a tiny flicker, it is there and we can find something good in the most awful of happenings.
Even in recovery family life is fraught with tension.
We would get more anxious; more edgy; more afraid, and school was closed.
