[QUOTE="ahhjeez, post: 729558, member: 16999"] I'm an only child. I had a childhood that I'm still trying to come to terms with. Much of it was spent in a bar with parents who are/were alcoholics. The profession my dad was in was filled with amazingly awesome diverse people that I was exposed to. My parents took me with them everywhere. I'm very close to my mom, but also have some unresolved resentments/anger related to my childhood and feeling that I wasn't adequately protected. She lives with me and for the most part it works, but there are times...... My dad passed several years ago and at the time had been sober for ten years. He was the dad then that I had always wanted and I treasure that time we had. I so wish he would have lived to not only see his grandson who was his absolute pride and joy grow up, but to enjoy his sobriety. He died of liver cancer due to cirrhosis. [/QUOTE]
