Very sad story——God bless that little angel.
Alcohol is a brutal killer and I’ve been watching it destroy lives for my entire life.
It destroyed my mother,and she didn’t drink.

I surmise then that it was your father who suffered from this terrible illness (And YES, it is an illnesses, not a moral failing)
Just think how things might have been different if a safer intoxicant, such as GHB had been known and prescribed.
Alas, we live in a sick society that cannot deal with things as they really are. :-/
After all these years I still wake at night and remember that young girl and her baby and weep. Those who have to live through a loved one with this illness suffer as much or more than they do...sometimes to the point of death. In my opinion, those prone to drug use are lacking in something that the rest of us are lucky enough to have naturally...so they desperately try to make up for what is lacking....so sad.
