[quote=Anonymous]My mom routinely left 3 children for a week in the care of our alcoholic stepfather so she could have a fabulous summer vacation. Very summer, in fact. Also allowed same stepfather to shuttle us to after school activities, plastered drunk. He’d drop me off at one evening activity, go around the corner to a liquor store, down a bottle of vodka then pick me up and drive me back home. Again, for years. So it was nothing to have our lazy and negligent mom allow us to sit in a locked car while she went grocery shopping or clothes shopping. I still remember sitting in the car with my sister and brother (I was the youngest) and some man banged on the window and intentionally thought it would be funny to yell and scare us. It worked! We started screaming and I wet my pants! I’ve been in therapy and on meds for decades. No kidding - the trauma I endured makes me fantasize that my parents would have lost custody of us. [/quote]
