I certainly see some of the signs in me. My dad, grandfather,(dad's side) grandmother (mom's side) and later in life my mom, suffered from and suffer from alcohol. Then my step-dad.

I don't know what else to say, except it still hurts that my Dad died at 48 yrs old, I was only 22 or 23 at the time. To this day, they want me in therapy for it, because I never dealt with his death properly, so they say.

I sure miss him. He wasn't mean or angry or bad, he just couldn't stop drinking.
