So, now my father is a drug addict

Fri Sep 2, 2005, 7:08 AM

Your body assumed its proper form when my fists tore it apart!

So yeah, I just found out last night from my drama queen mother that my
dad's a junkie. Apparently he's been this way for months, comepletely oblivious to
me ofcourse becuase me and my father have never been really close.

The last time I even spoke more than two words to him was 2 months ago.
He came over my grandparents house one day while I was eating cereal. And
then, he gives me this aggressive path on the shoulder and says hello.

I look at him with uncomfortable eyes and I grumble hello back. The look on my face
was pretty clear that he was bothering me and he knew it.

So, anyway, my mother, who I'm neither close to,approaches me while I'm
cleaning my palette and tells me my father has been talking shit about me. That
he's been threatening my life. I didn't respond with any reply I just stood their listened
while she ranted.

Feeling a little dumbfounded, I didn't know what to think.

So 15 years ago my dad was an alcoholic, now he's upgraded. Honestly, part of me doesn't care. And the other part me feels like it's my fualt. So I'm just at a lost.

Well, I don't blame myself for my dad's addiction. He made
his own choice to use drugs, I didn't force a crack pipe down
his throat. If that is the path he chooses to walk then let him
walk it.

I just keep thinking about the day I stopped talking to him
though. I keep thinking,maybe that's the moment he chose
to turn to drugs comepletly.

But anyway,enough with my problems. I really hope your sis-in-law and your friend make it out okay. I had to deal with the whole
cancer thing with my grandmother a couple of years ago. I was more afraid for her than she was. She never sweats anything.

ah, that sucks. but no, it's not your fault. usually some combination of choice, and genes.

started drinking at an early age.

~THE-SEXY-BEAST Sep 2, 2005

Well, knowing the drug dealer's
around my neighborhood, I'd
have to say crack cocaine.

um, that should be easy to find out for sure. anyway it sounds really fucked up. tell your mom to get a divorce.

~THE-SEXY-BEAST Sep 3, 2005

Uhh, well, no worries their. My parents were divorced
before I was even born. Go figure.

Don't feel shitty aboout him being a drug addict or recovering alcoholic. It's never the child's fault in these situations. Your father has what my father has, an addictive personality disorder. It's not your fault, it's genetic, and my father is a recovering 15 year alcoholic as well.

I just found out, fucking yesterday no less, my sister in law Libby might have cancer and someone I've come really close to recently at our school, his lung collapsed and I visited him in the hospital.
