well, the past week has been an absolute mess. For those who i haven't told, or spoken to yet, well this might be a bit of a shock, or at least an explanation for how i have been over the past week, or however long this has been running through my head.
Well starting from the beginning as all good recounts do, my dad, never used to drink. His father, we think he was an alcoholic, left him the family business when he died. Unfortunatly he didn't just leav it to dad though, he left it to all three of his kids, which meant dad had to buy his two sisters out of the business if it was actually going to run properly. this is when we think he started drinking, although it wasn't serious, not yet. So years pass, and life is reletively good, well for me at least, dads friends teach him how to drink, and it becomes more and more frequent. His second marriage to my mother deteriorated, and for the past 6-7 years i've been with mum, and dads, basically been living on his own. He's had girlfriends, still has them, and has managed to survive this far, except, it hasn't been without the alcohol. His drinking problem, has slowly, but progressively gotten worse. He's stopped for a couple of months every now aand then, but this time, its just gone crazy.
We don't know why he does it, we thought we did, but this time has made us realise that we really have no idea whats going on in his head, we have no, or very little concept of what he is going through. Its hurting everyone around him, especially his kids. We just want to see him happy, but now we realise we haven't really seen him happy for a very long time.
So this is what has been getting at me for the past week or so, nothing hugely disasterous, at the moment he is staying at Sheree's for a bit, i'm not sure how long, we'll see, but hopefully it might help.
I'm going to stop now, or else i'm going to start crying, and get the keyboard all wet. :'(
