Hello friend,
Lies are part and parcel of being an alcoholic! I have personally come to the conclusion that their lies are not DELIBERATE...they are just a survival technique. To them, they MUST have that drink, so they will SAY, or sometimes DO whatever is necessary to ensure that they get it! I know it feels like a betrayal every time they insult your intelligence with ridiculous nonsense, but I try to remember that they are not really attacking me...they are just desperate! You love your father, and that is just as I
t should be, but you are a sensible person with your own valid feelings. You should never stop loving and caring for your dad...but you matter too! X
