He really has had a rotten life in some aspects and has a right to be angry, specially at his parents. Alcohol is of course not the answer--some people get angry but it's a 'controlled' angry. They don't show it.....I think he's like that. I know people who don't get loud and flamboyant when they're angry.

Dear Kim, most of us, by the time we reach our 50s, have figured out that our parents did the best they could, but were flawed human beings as we are also...

We "get over" being angry with them, try to remember the good things they did, and forgive them the trespasses...

DAW seems to be the kind of man who went the distance to be kind to those less fortunate, even though he may have inherited a taste for spirits...

Give folks a break, Kim. I can only assume you are still young, and haven't had enough life experience yet to understand. A few more years under your belt can change your perspective on ever-present human frailties...

None of us are perfect, and none of us should be "hung" for that failure to achieve the impossible... Do you want to be judged by the same standard you are judging others... just wait till your kids reach the late teens, early twenties... then you will be singing a very different tune...
