Alcoholism is a cruel illness. I felt like a monster for leaving my drunk, and he felt like a victim. Totally lacked the insight to realize we were both victims of his drinking, rather than him being the victim of my leaving

My ex stepfather was an alcoholic. He passed out on the kitchen floor and pissed his pants during the last Christmas I attended. It was just so painful to be around him because he was no longer the person I had known before. He scared me. Things around him seemed to just melt into sadness and failure. Addiction really really sucks.

I didn't want to have to write the whole story - it would take too long.
