I detached from my dads side when i was a teenager...boy ole boy everyone had reasons "why" but none was of the ALCOHOL, its still till this day not TALKED about..I am 42...I would pick and choose when I was "feeling in control" and would go...but only for a few a occasions..now, with the recent suicide of my cousin...its still at close doors, but some of us "do talk about the issues at hand"
I miss my cousin...and sad...now we are slowly talking(my cousins) BUT the adults...wow! nothing...just nothing...amazing...nothing changes...
