[quote=Anonymous]You have the right to your feelings, but you're looking at it from a child's lens who feels like something was taken from her. Put yourself in your mother's shoes with an abusive husband. Cuz yes, alcoholism is a form of abuse for those having to live with someone who has it?. My grandpa was never physically violent but he was a mad and mean drunk. He didn't do anything to help around the house 98% of the time and the kids and grandma were constantly worried about where he was and if he had died. My mom wishes her mom would have left her dad because that family was so dysfunctional and it revolved around his alcoholism. You are creating a fairy tale of what could have been had you been able to stay in contact with your dad but he could have reached out to you at any point and didn't which I think says far more than your mother trying to give you a healthy childhood.
