Alcohol and Motherly Parenting
So, here I am, age ten. I just started living with my father. We moved to a different town close by, to where my mother was left. I started going to a different school, which meant new people. I had just left all of my friends at my old school, left my mother, and lived in a new town. That's a lot for a young child to deal with and deal with that stress within a week time period. Please forgive me as you read; these memories aren't easy to accurately remember, let alone be painful to muster up.

Alcohol and Motherly Parenting
As a small child, I was raised in an alcoholic home. My father worked long hours every day of the week. It was my sister and me, for the most part, at home. My mother was a very broken person. Her grandmother raised her due to her birth mother dying eleven hours after my mother was born from pneumonia. She died in 1957. "Nana" did her best raising my mother. Nana spoiled her to no end because she felt horrible for her being without her mother. So, my mother was given anything she wanted, went wherever she wanted, and never had a curfew. She was a wild child because she had so much freedom. I will share stories of her later in the series.
