I was 17 when my parents decided to split, and my sister was 14. It was not
any good for either of us. I'm glad when I think that it could've been sooner
and that would've been worse, but I'm sorry my mom's alcoholism and selfish
immaturity did so much damage to so many people's lives, including hers.

Lots of times it's the dad's fault and he doesn't want to change. In this
case, it was substance and tackiness.
