kids
My daughter is very young, so I'm not sure, but I was one of those kids too. I mean, I could write for hours about how I felt about my dad's drinking, but I guess to sum it up, I came out of that house feeling like I was fundamentally broken and worthless.
My son hated it. I could see it in his eyes the older he got & the more he could understand. He even went so far ask to ask me to not drink some evenings. It breaks my heart to think about it now. He's 13 now & he's very proud of his sober mom. There's no better feeling.
Someone posted this not to long ago. It's heartbreaking & chilling but effective. It's the way I felt every time my dad drank. When I'm completely honest with myself, it's probably the way my son felt too.

kids would just look and say stop...Didn't get drunk, but knew enough was enough.
