i am sorry if this is against the rules. there is truly NO ONE i can talk to about this.
nothing anyone can do, and not something i enjoy talking about.
my dad is an alcoholic. he relapses a lot. buys NA (non-alcoholic, but like low percentage alcohol) beer, buys pounders (? i don't really know what they means, but they're huge cans). we try to limit his intake, of course. mom said only three cans. he used to get a case of pounders, drink them all in one night. ranging from 6 cans to 24 cans. raging alcoholic. ever since i can remember. sure, he was sober for 2 and a half years, but relapsed when he lost his job(s) over a course of a year. sometimes we lived high on the hog, other times dirt-poor. my dad has no job right now, and is spending all the money on things he wants...we seemingly get food every month, but usually cereal and the basics (bread, milk, lunch meat, frozen dinners). if he keeps it up, we will barely have enough money to scrape by with. food pantry gives us good food! but, it is embarrassing at times. i can always go to my boyfriends, they have food and such. but, that makes me feel like a burden...i am soon going on vacation...19-21 with my boyfriend and his family. yes, i am very excited, but also loathing the fun I'll have only to return home to negative energy that really tears my insides apart.
parents argue. they don't abuse each other nor me, but verbal abuse...swearing, yelling on the top of his lungs. my dad is a naturally loud person, so you can imagine when he is under the influence and not getting his way. justifying his way to get beer. he is most like a child, whines and whines till he gets his way... why is my mother still with him, you ask? me. i used to always say I never wanted them to split, because I do love my dad! I do...nothing will change that, but just...it's what he becomes, that I don't like. he truly becomes a monster...it only took me 13 years to figure that out. i don't like realizing the truth. i want to go back to when I was 4, when I didn't understand or even remember...i can't wait to move out. i haven't got my license yet, and i honestly suck at driving. i'm scared. i want to get a job. make money. become an author. i want to go to college, but my parents argue about money so much...i mention paying for college, they say, "Well fill it out!" ...I don't know how and neither do they...they never went to college. i can't go on college tours because our vehicle can only do so much... ehh. this is getting too long.
tdlr; if my elementary school knew about this, CPS would have been involved...and i would have been taken away from a family that DOES LOVE me. so, that's why I can now talk about this as an adult, openly. again, no one needs to respond and this may even be against the rules, but i needed to type it out.
