//__An Open Letter to My Father__//
I miss basketball, races, playstation, etc.

Shyanne died and you two changed. Hated your fighting. Eventually divorced and you moved away.

I haven’t seen you sober in a long time. I know it is hard to cope and alcohol helps, but its been long enough. We stopped visiting you at first because you got too out of hand. Your friends replaced us.

Your friends stopped showing because you drink too much and are angry. You are too much to handle at times. You start fights with everyone, and I always wake up to them. This is the only way I know you any more. Something must change

Problem affects more than me. Uncle gerrad, uncle Kevin, and dennis. Dennis has helped me a lot. I hope that you would stop at least for the effects on family. I have a favor to ask, I want you to stop. It is embarrassing more than yourself. Heather is likely to divorce you. Brothers are receiving a bad image.

Brothers are young and learn from you. You are the male figure. My brothers need a better role model or they will be like you. They have a poor example of how an adult should be.

I want to be blunt. We argue but you never listen, so I am writing it down. Things have to change, and they can.

I learned what not to be. I remember seeing you sober and wanting to be like you. Everyone loved being around you soberly. I miss seeing you happy soberly. You taught me the importance of courtesy.

We always love you, and who you are, but your drinking makes it hard. You are controlling your life, don’t buy the alcohol. Spend it on brothers. Share the same memories with them.
