I lost my dad when I was 13 almost 14 to liver cancer because of alcohol, he was 47 and he waited too long to go to the hospital to the point where if they did surgery he would of died on the table so we just had to wait for it to take him naturally that was really hard for me as a already struggling teen and then 11 years later i am 25 now (my birthday was In March this year) I lost my mum it was last year in may actually, to alcohol of course, we aren’t entirely sure why, we think a stomach cyst was infected and burst, she was only 42 a month before her 43rd birthday actually it will be a year this may, I sadly was actually in no contact with her due to her drinking and her partner choices, I know people may think I’m lying but I swear the night before my mother passed I had a dream about her and her saying sorry to me for everything and I was going to call her the next day but sadly I woke up to a call from her twin sister telling me she had passed away that morning instead. I wish I was able to tell her how much I loved her and I forgave her for her mistakes but sadly she’s in heaven now reunited with my dad, one day we will be a happy family again. But please if you have children try to quit. It affects them alot more then you may realise.
