No parent is perfect, but most of us do the best we can. Most of us have the welfare of our children at heart. Do we make mistakes? Hell yes! In the best of circumstances, being a good parent is very hard work. When we are trying to be a good parent while living with addiction, it's almost impossible. You did the best you knew how. Now that you know better, you are doing better.

It's obvious that your daughters feel safe with you. They wouldn't say the things they do if that were not the case. It is obvious that you are doing the best you can with a really, REALLY crappy situation. It just keeps going on and on and on and on. You can only do so much due to the area in which you are living. Still...little by little, your alcoholic is tightening the noose around his own neck. Things aren't going well for him so much anymore.
