Living With An Alcoholic:

When your only twelve years old and you live with an alcoholic you have to learn to grow up pretty fast. You don't get to have friends over as often as you might want to or fun things like that. Sadly thats what i go through everyday. When i go to school i have ack like nothing's wrong to keep me going. Then when i come home i get completly ignored by the man who is supposedly my father. But i'm not mean to him, i cant be. If i did it would be like yelling at someone who had cancer. so you must treat them as if he or she had cancer, because thats what alcaholism is, a disease.
