Please, stop.

I’m so sick and tired of your drinking. I’ve asked you and begged you to stop more times than I can remember.

When you’re drunk, you’re mean and hurtful and just all around a horrible person to be around.

Then you wake me or mom up when you come into both of our rooms in the middle of the night, apologizing for the stuff you said or things you did.

Well, I’m sick of it. Honestly, I know why your marriage is falling apart. You’ve had a drinking problem for as long as I can remember. When I was six years old you called the cops when you were drunk because mom locked you out of the house because you were too drunk to handle. She tried divorcing you then, but me, being six years old and loving you begged her not to do it. And she didn’t. Twelve years later, you’re still the same. You haven’t changed and your self esteem has probably gone down the toilet because you’re drunk all the time so you cause pain, which causes people to react negatively towards you.

I know I’ve said plenty of negative things to you when you’re drunk and even when you’re not. But, I honestly think things would get soo much better if you just tried. If you just tried to quit drinking. Dad, I know you’re not perfect, and none of us can be. But the only thing I’ve wanted for practically my entire life is for you to stop drinking.

Please dad. Stop. For Me.
