My dad has been overtook with alcohol and I hate it. It has wrecked my family and mine and my little sisters life's. My Dad doesn't live with us any more, because of the way he is, my mum but his bags on the doorstep, he never normal goes but this time he did. We didn't know where he was, I was so worried, I went to bed carry every night! He know stays with my nan.It is scary, last Christmas he took me into town to get my mum a Christmas present, we got there and he went into the boot to get something and would not let me out of the car. Then I got out of the car and we went to HMV to get a C.D for my mum, after we went to tesco to get something to eat but my dad wouldn't let me come in. As soon as he came out his eyes went all funny, and he wasn't walking properly, it was so embrassing everyone was looking at him. We got back in the car and went home, on the way home my dad crashed the car twice. My mum wasn't happy and I am scared of going out with my daddy. I want my Dad back. He has been in hospital about 5 times, now my little sister (aged 5) hates hospitals. I am not going to stop living my life because of him but I do suffer and it does hurt.I wish this didn't happen....... my mum, me and (sister) don't deserve this.
