my stepfather was an abusive drunk there was not much normal about how he raised us.

But i grew up just assuming you became an adult and drank after work and when you went fishing or really anytime at all there was an opportunity too.

In my case id idnt grow up just like him thank god. But i do catch myself at times about to react in a fashion he might have. Or questioning what is the proper way to handle my kids becuase i did not have a good example. I suppose i did learn that drinking was totally normal every day behaivior tho from him and followed in that path for man years. I had no idea that not everyone did that. No seriously i just thought every adult drank every night i thought that was normal. if you didnt you where wierd or something.
