Every day I live my sad existance because my father whom I love so dear depends on what hurts him more than any weapon can ever do the alcohol that he craves like air slowly destroys his life destroying the family who loves him but he does not care for the drink is all he ever loves I said nothing until this day and he responded with utmost prejedace he believes that I have nothing to say about what he does with his life but he could never understand how much it hurts me inside but the pain will never show because he does not care how I feel so I will live in the sadness of my father's nightmare forever... To find true love is to know true happiness... to lose true love is to lose everything |

So sad for you hon, I had an alcoholic uncle, he changed, he was ill, ruined, everything!! He died in a pub drowned in his own vomit. Perhaps you should tell your father about him. *hugs* from one who understands.. There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

LS I too understand this pain was not my father but another very close family member who chose to drink his life away and its so hard to sit and idly watch knowing that anything you do say or concern you express is ignored and gone unheeded Great emotions expressed here "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |

I liked the style of this poem...I have come to the conclusion that most people addicted to alcohol or drugs are very selfish people that don't seem to care about the fact that the alcohol is not only destroying them but also the people around them that are also affected by the consequences of their actions. I hope for the best for you and your family. James |
