I just want to add...
It is all about the children - truly. I also grew up with alcoholic people and partying and abuse. I know the pain that goes along with that lifestyle. I know the suffering my mother went through during her journey as a single mother and I lived it with her. Would there be less suffering in adult life if all children were given all that they deserve in love, understanding, care, time, compassion? ...perhaps.
I think everybody out there with the responsibility of parenthood needs to give all they can for the children. Our children deserve the innocent nature they were given, and who are we to take that away!
I worry about all kids and the cruel world that they must grow up in. We owe it to them to give them a safe and sane life.
Be careful with grows and the like y'all! Uncle Sam wants to get you for child endangerment. And that might just be well deserved in some cases.
Take care.
