That's where I'd sit and watch when my father would come home drunk. I can't send the "Dad, I can always count on you" ones I nix "Thanks for everything" and "You're the greatest." What the world needs is an alternative card: "Dad, I love you, even though you haven't been there for me." I remember that stairway more than my room. Father's Day is my least favorite holiday. That helped when I was smaller and I had to put him places when Mom had had enough. There is nothing gross in the book, no abuse, but we do see what life is like for the children of alcoholics.ĭad was never a mean drunk, you could put him places, lean him against things and he'd pretty much stay put. Her mother kicked her father out several years ago when she could no longer take his drunken behavior. It is well-written it tells a good story and though there are serious situations, there is still a touch of humor. My friend Judi recommended this book to me, and I am so grateful.
