I can’t do anything for my mother – she doesn’t want me, she wants brandy.
Why do I go back to her out of fear of what she is doing to herself?
I never knew how I would feel the day I lost her as our relationship was turbulent.
What I want my parents, and everyone else to know, is that these things that hurt the people we love.
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.
