Life with an alcoolic was not easy for my Mom or the children . You might say I was her favorite in all the children . When i was a teenager I openly critisied her for staying with my Dad during all those years . She still defended him then but I think I realy hurt her that day . A few years later they would both quit drinking and smoking in one try and they never looked back . Family visits were alot more pleasant then . They began to have things like new furniture , car and later, a camper and more . Raising eight children in poverty was very hard for my Mom but the one thing I resented her for was using my Dad as a threath to make use behave ourselves when she deemed it . No one knew more how scared we were of Dad so to this I think that was wrong . Holding on to this would be foolish when you balance it with everything else she did good . These days my Mom and Dad are still together . My Mom listens to her music and my Dad watches his TV shows . Once my Dad stop drinking he wasn't such a bad person but unfortunately his children have never forgiven him for the past. When we all hated our Dad it seems we were a close family but when he stop drinking and change it seems that we all drifted apart and to this day we rarely keep intouch . I have alot of found memories of my Mom and I will touch on those as we go on .
