Avoiding an Alcoholic Father
I’ve recently started drinking again. I drank growing up of course; through college and in my twenties. In my late twenties I stopped. It took me a long time to realize my aversion to alcohol in my late twenties was spurred by my father’s over drinking. It also took me a long time to understand the severity of the situation and how it affected me, and my immediate family. In High School, I was too self-absorbed and oblivious to see what was happening in my own home. I barely paid attention to anything outside of my immediate circle of friends, gossip, and high school sports I was involved in, including my own family.
