Drug Addiction Stories

My Mother and Father would get into horrendous arguments and we were just little girls.

I don’t like people to judge my parents simply by the fact that they were alcoholics because for the most part, they were great people.  I really didn’t realize my childhood was any different than anyone else’s until I got older.  My parents both worked, and worked hard.  They very rarely missed a day of work.  I can probably count on one hand the number of times they missed work.  On work days, the drinking started right after work.  On non-work days, the drinking started somewhere between 11AM and 2PM.  They had a lot of parties and people were over a lot.  We also went camping often and the beer and booze came right along with us.  There actually were some funny stories that came from the events that happened, but the good stories don’t outweigh the bad.

I can remember the most vivid memory I have is of hiding behind the bed or in the closet.  My Mother and Father would get into horrendous arguments and we were just little girls.  My sister and I would hide behind the bed or in the closet.  We weren’t really afraid that they would hurt us, but the whole ordeal was so very frightening.  It happened more and more often as time went by.  Even as teenagers we would retreat to our room and turn up the music to drown out the yelling.  By the time I was a teenager, my Mother’s frustration must have reached its peak.  There were times she pushed me down the stairs, threw food hot from the oven at me and other such things.

Alcohol does strange things to people.  I can remember being called stupid, crazy and a host of other things while I was growing up.  This no doubt had a result on what kind of parent I became.  Although I escaped the alcoholism, one of my daughter’s is an alcoholic.  I look at my grand children and I want to hold them close to prevent anything hurtful being said to them.  I want to protect them from having an alcoholic mother, but I cannot.  I can only watch and observe.  I know that so far, she does not seem to show the animosity toward her children that my Mother did.  I also hate to think that my little girl is going through that.  Hopefully I can stop her before alcohol ruins her life, her family, her future.
