Hearing my father vomit in the toilet after a long night of drinking is a memory I will have eternally etched in my mind.

I wondered why anyone would drink so much that they would eventually have to throw up. It made no sense.

I couldn’t sleep those nights, feeling the tension and worry as my mother waited for my dad. In some instances, the nights would turn violent when he did crawl in the door.
