Dear Hazel,
Firstly, I want to make it clear that I am sorry about what happened between your Dad and the rest of your family. Dads shouldn't speak to their children and wife like the way he did. And I can't even begin to express how pissed off I am that he would treat you all like that.
But I also don't necessarily agree with your actions. Don't get me wrong, I am all for you standing up for your family, and especially yourself. And initially, I was proud, impressed and wished I had the same courage you had. Now that I've thought it through though, I don't think it was the right thing to do. Not when he's in an alcohol induced state. Not when there's a high possibility he could lay a hand on you.
Your Uncle had the right idea, to settle him down and get him away from the rest of you. You may not agree with me, but you should think back, think of how angry he was. How anything could have happened.
I'm happy you have a backbone though! So many don't - including myself. Because if we're being honest, I need to grow a freaking backbone already and stand up to my Mum.
It's nothing like the situation with your Dad, but there are definitely similar aspects. Your Dad's an alcoholic, so is my Mum. Your Dad lost someone close to him and blames himself, so does my mum (Though, they didn't pass away as your Aunt had). And then there's the fact that both our parents take it out on their children. But my relationship with my Mum doesn't seem to be near as damaged as you and your Dad's.
Have you thought about trying to convince him (when he's sober) to get some help? I know it's not as easy to do as it is to write/say.
It makes me quite upset to read that you cried. That's probably weird, and I know it's not normal to be sad over someone I don't know, but I am.
I'm going to do what you do and write some 'Likes' and 'Dislikes'. Which may give who I am away slightly, but it's the risk I'm taking anyway.
I like skinny jeans. Yes, I know, I'm a guy who's in a love-hate relationship with black skinny jeans. Maybe I should start wearing legging like you do! They sound more comfortable, but can you imagine that? Uh, that would be a horrible sight that no one should ever have to witness in their life.
What do I dislike? Drugs and Alcohol. With a deep burning passion. I also don't understand all the hype with parties. Like, why do you want to get trashed off your face, embarrass yourself, kiss random people, do drugs, vomit, and then get a hangover the next day? It doesn't sound very fun, and how does that benefit your life or future? It doesn't.
Anyway, please stay safe. I'm worried about you, and I'm only on entry 6!
Bye,
Prince Hesitantly Charming xo
P.S. I hate pins & needles! They're the worst.
P.P.S. At least if he avoided you after the confrontation, it meant he left you alone! I hope.
