This is going to sound so horrible, and i am NOT saying it to make you feel bad, but i actually was kidnapped and molested, as a child, in a foreign country/US possession. Weird how shit like that jumps up and bites you, isn't it? For real.
My dad is 79 years old, and has been a "drinker" all of his life. He retired at the age of 45 to devote himself, full-time, to the hobby. (Evidently, beer isn't as bad for you as hard lix. go figure.) He had been an enlisted man in the Navy, who was "mustang"ed into an officership and retired as a Commander.
My mom, also 79 this year, had a major medical catastrophe befall her, which halted her drinking enthusiasms, but arguments in our house were usually pretty horrific events.
You know what? Long story, short: Raised by alchie's, am probably an alchie ~ not sure, 'cuz i quit for long periods of time, for no particular reason other than it
might interfere with my professional judgements. Same goes for herb, which is the only illegal drug i do. Anyway, succinct'ing down: My dad IS beginning to show major signs of alcohol induced dementia ~ has pulled loaded guns on us, has tried to shove me off a 10' porch, blah, blah, blah,
and that's How So,
not to be confused with Ah So.
