- A Relative's Alcoholic Drinking
A Memoir
A personal accounting of a period on my life in which I lived with a relative who exhibited signs of problem drinking.
Since this is a personal memoir and personal to me, I still share it with the Stumble community and friends with hope that others who have gone through it or who are going through it, realize they are not alone.
From the memoir: I wore a wrinkled shirt to the hospital for a surgery I would have. I was scared but I said nothing. Because my oversized t-shirt that I would be taking off in less than the 5 minutes it would take us to get to the hospital, was wrinkled, I looked like a whore. She said so. I was self-centered. I was spoiled and selfish. Why would I choose, of all shirts, that one? Didn't I know that I looked like a whore? And what was wrong with my hair? Why didn't I curl it?
This was just one instance that remains in my memory. My female relative was an alcoholic and she loved me. She proved it often enough. I loved her too. But with the love I held for her, there was fear and misunderstanding. And with the love she had for me, there was the interference of alcoholism.
I thought if I could behave well, she would quit the drinking she often promised to quit.
