Thought I would be wrong... Worth a shot. I'll ask someone about it. I've actually gotten most of the stuff I've said, advice wise, from counseling sessions, which I've had for most of my life. Even before everyone started dying, I was still really messed up. Plus, hanging around with adults in general all the time has it's perks. That problem hasn't really come up in conversation. It could be worse for you, though. My Mom's dad (I'm gonna call him Grampa Baxter), was an alcoholic, but Gramma didn't know that when they got married and had my mom. When she was born (or soon after), he showed his true side. Gramma divorced him, picked up and moved Mom and herself all the way to Ohio to escape him (Mom was born in Texas). Mom didn't get to hear from him or see him in person until she was nine. He had been sober for a couple of years at that point. That was the only time Mom ever got to meet him, for he died just a few months after that. I have no doubt that it's hurting you a lot to go through all of this, but try your best to appreciate what you have instead of what you wish you had. It could be worse, so focus on what keeps it from being worse.
