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.
This whole episode in my life has caused me nothing but guilt and pain.
I have been trying to find someone that can relate to what I have been through.
I never blamed myself for his drinking, but I always wondered how different my life would be if he didn’t drink.
The point I want to make is that I don’t blame my dad anymore – he was ill – alcoholism is an illness.
I will never forget my past and what’s happened in my life. I just try and believe my mum and dad are at peace now and in a better place.
I would like to say to anyone who finds themselves in the situation that I was in, that there is hope.
