I love the trim.

The ...I am so sorry for what you have been through. The scars remain forever don’t they? I am the sister of an alcoholic, who still drinks. Her 3 kids were raised by their father but there was a time when she saw them regularly, bringing them into a situation where she was often drunk, sometimes impossible to awaken (the kids aged 2, 5 and 8, were sometimes terrified that she had died) and where there was often violence between their mother and her new man. It was only when I threatened their father (who kept letting them go to stay with her) with informing Child Protective Services, that they stopped going. I am sorry that you didn’t have an adult to step in and protect you. Every child should be safe and should live without violence and the constant fear of violence. Thank you for sharing your story.

It's a horrible way to grow up and I am touched by your will to survive it and overcome it.<br />It is good to get an alcoholic into AA but it is heartbreaking that what you endured was not addressed properly. I feel that is wrong, he should have been made for face what he did and make ammends. However, I do not feel that it would have made a difference to you after having went through that horror, but it would have been nice if he acknowledged his actions toward you and the rest of the family. At least it would have been something.

As a social worker/therapist, I work hard to protect such abuse from ever happening. My heart goes out to you. You are amazing. So brave to tell your story and to be a survivor. Says a lot about how strong and resilient you really are. Thank you for sharing. I hope it spurs others on to get the help that is out there. We need to talk about such things and get them into the open so people can get the help they need--both the victims and the abusers. No one should ever have to experience what you and your family did.

And the shame and guilt last long after the abuse. You are a wonderfully talented woman.

He left me alone except for one time when I blamed him for my pregancy when I was 17. I told him that it was his fault because he didn't pay any attention to me as I was growing up. Just mostly got in my mother's face. Did not beat her, but terrorized her. This was mostly on the week ends cause he did not drink during the week.
