[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't seeing the divorced parent every 2nd weekend kind of a norm back then? Also, OP, if he drank himself to death by your early 20s then his alcoholism was probably getting worse during your teenage years. [b]He did not drink more because he saw less of you, but rather he saw less of you because he drank more.[/b] Alcoholics always find excuses for what 'makes them drink' - the kids are loud, the boss is an a*hole, the wife looked at them in a mean way etc etc. In the end, they only drink because they're alcoholics. If it's not one excuse, then it's another. Props for your dad for never showing up drunk on those times he did spend with you. That is more than most alcoholics can or care to manage.[/quote] So you know the guy personally then? Otherwise you’re just assuming. Many alcoholics get clean for years and then relapse after trauma or life setbacks. [/quote]
