My Dad is a hardcore alcoholic. He may get sick, and pained but he still drinks and drink alcohol until he drops. Here are my reasons why I abhor alcohol and alcoholics.
#1 Audacity to Misbehave
This may sound biased but everyone I know who drinks always misbehaves and blame the alcohol when confronted the next day.
While I'm trying to rest at night, he talks non-stop with nonsense, bothering my supposed sleep.
He shouts and curses and demands food in the middle of the night, resulting in breaking stuff at times. He throws up and others must clean up after him, just yuck! When confronted, it's because of alcohol.
#2 Unproductiveness
Due to a hangover, after a night's drink, most people stay in bed until only God knows when.
My Dad greets me "good morning" when he got out of their room but I've been feeding the swine and been to the farm already, which is 35 mins walk, roundtrip. While everyone is busy with chores, he sleeps soundly. Wow!
#3 Hurtful Words
When I said talking non-stop, it involves hurtful words.
You may not know but I'm an unmarried eldest daughter but when my Dad is drunk, he calls me "puta" which means prostitute. It's hurtful to think I've been living my life for the family, never did I think of my pleasure, how could he say it?
Once, when my Mom was too tired to sleep with him, he threatened Mom that he'll have his mistress instead. The audacity, yeah? It's because of alcohol he says.
#4 No Budget, and yet...
It's already lacking, the budget but still spends for something outrageous.
We ain't rich, we don't have money and we've been asking for help here and there with my uncle and distant relative for school expenses. I've been frugal in buying the clothes I want. I have to buy rice and salt, more other necessities but my Dad, he buys alcohol. HAHA
#5 Conflict and Violence
When you got bruises and wounds, it's nothing personal. Deal with it.
My Dad, he tend to hurt me physically and so many times he attempted to shoot me with an airgun and so is my Mom. He's been hurting my brothers too and he once put a 45 gun to my brother's temple, readying to pull the trigger. When we confront him the next day, it's because of alcohol, nothing personal. HAHA
And so, anyone, just anyone who drinks and dares to approach me, especially having the intention to be linked romantically, you disgust me.
Having one man who ruined it all is MORE THAN ENOUGH.
SCRAM!!

I have created an "unfiltered thought" series as a way to address offensive statements without directly confronting the person. This allows me to express my frustrations without lashing out.

ps. This may turn out so strong, this is because it's so fresh issue. Been experiencing this just last night so bear with me. Thank you.
