A lot of drinking and driving, jolting out of bed, looking out the bedroom window to see the truck in the yard, knew I drove because he's not home..run to check the baby. Didn't do that just once or twice. I volunteer now to drive for operation red nose durning the holidays.
Way back in the olden days back before computers and email, I was drunk through grade 8 and failed, I took my report card out of the mail, (latch key kid) and threw it away. Intercepted all phone calls, no message machines then...never told my parents, my father went to the school to get my grade 9 books and my report card in september before school started, I was grounded for a very long time in my room. No one spoke to me at all for a long time. Did a lot of LSD and mescaline, I would have rather drank, but its hard to hide the bottles and the smell when your only 13. I lived in Quebec then, they sold beer at corner stores, I was well developed at 13 and had no troubles buying it.
And that was only after the first trauma, I got worse, and so did the traumas.
