Speech About My Father

Many people across the world suffer from alcoholism, a family disease. It is called a family disease because the addiction harms the alcoholic, and everyone who has to live with them. Children consistently suffer when they share a house with an alcoholic. Unfortunately, alcoholism is common and many children find themselves in this situation. The emotional and psychological scars that children can develop in alcoholic homes can be so deep that they can last well into adulthood. Youth who grew up in an alcoholic home can develop similar personality traits and characteristics. Approximately 26.8 million children are exposed to alcoholism in the family and 6.6 million children 18 and younger live in households with at least one alcoholic

Growing up, I dealt with a mother who struggled with addiction; to be unambiguous, she was an alcoholic. She drowned in her alcoholism as it pulled her down an alarming road. She was dreadfully depressed and believed that alcohol was the only way to make her feel better, addiction blinded her from what a great life she could have ahead of her. Not a single member of our family knew how to help her comprehend how much happier she would be if she could stop drinking her sorrows away. When it came to family events, my mom would try to conform to how others were acting and act “sober” even though she was already countless drinks deep in to drinking. Nevertheless, my mother just wanted others to like her which would lead her to change her outward

So one day on the vacation my dad asks “hey do want to try and ski today?”.

Honestly, both my mom and I--whenever we watch you--I know you haven't done all the plastic surgery stuff, but you look incredible. And I know it's not just the physical. You have lots of joy and happiness with what you're doing, and you have that inner light that radiates out.

Hello Eric. I am reaching out to you today because I spoke with Anissa's father a few weeks ago, and his words are lingering with me. First and foremost, I want start off by saying that I have nothing against you as an individual, but I do have something against the way my daughter and grandson are being treated. It is not about me liking or disliking you because Anissa is going do what Anissa wants to do regardless of how I may feel, she's grown but being her mother and to see my story playing out for her too, I don't appreciate it. You left my daughter pregnant and alone for nine whole months. She worked from beginning to end, she didn't have to work because my husband and I were already working three jobs to make sure for her and Gabriel's arrival, all she had to do was

A phenomenal, strong, and intelligent woman. I introduce myself in such ways because I am a daddyless daughter, however being a daddy-less daughter does not define who I am. It does not take away the hard work, and achievements I have encountered in my 20 years of living.

A staggering 30% of U.S. adults have been or currently are alcoholics, and not all of them have abstained from parenthood. The essay “Under the Influence” by Russel Sanders tells the tale of a young boy who had an alcoholic father, who he could not understand why he was an alcoholic, except for the belief that he was possessed by demons. He didn’t live around any treatment centers that could help his father, for he lived in the backwoods of Ohio. He talked about the constant fear of his father beating him (which he never did), and the constant fear of his father leaving him (which he did for small increments of time). The trauma of having a father who was an alcoholic father stayed with Sanders well into adulthood.

Since, my father would drink on the job with his coworkers and we all know there is no tolerance of alcohol consumption on the job, he never kept a job. This affected him financially on attempting to raise four kids while keeping up with the bills. Even when he did work and got paid on Friday’s he would waste a large consumption of his check on alcohol and never worried if he had enough to pay the bills. The outcome of alcohol physically damaged my father on his health. He is a diabetic type II who never took his insulin when needed or checked his sugars. For the years of having uncontrolled diabetes he currently has damage to his feet and on a higher dosage of insulin with various times of injecting the insulin. The outcome of alcohol severely affected his relationship with his family. My father and his children relationship is at a hate and love mode by the damage he caused to the family. By the things I and my sibling had to experience as children there is not trust in his words. He would always say he would quit but never

Living a life with a father who suffers from alcohol or drug addiction isn't easy. Instead of the strong and supportive family base, he's likely to struggle with work, showing affection, and performing other important parental roles. However, it is possible to help your father find help for addiction. It will require understanding why he may be struggling to quit and how you can break through the unique “father mentality” to help guide him to a life of sobriety.

Many call him rich but I call him dad. He is the man who has taught me to be the person I am today. My dad has been there for me every day since I was born, and what my family and I have put him through I probably would have gone crazy a long time ago. My dad is literally the only man in our house. It is my dad, my mom, my older sister Olivia, me, and my younger sister Aliza. Even my dog is a girl, even my litter sister’s fish is a girl. I don’t know how he does it, I really don’t. But the thing is he deals with all of us girls every day and he still is one of the most kind hearted men I know. My dad is the nicest man not just to me but to everyone he knows. He always treats others the way he wants to be treated. We live in a neighborhood

Born and raised as the heir to a wealthier family, life for Sam was easy compared to most. He was nearly ready to get married to a beautiful, young bride and start a family. However, that all ended when Sam decided to go for a quick walk to the coffee shop on Bridge Street. As Sam strolls across the street a car ran the beaming red light and hit him. The impacted was so great he was sent flying back.

My father had always took pride in the fact that he had grown to be kind and soft hearted since high school. I never really knew the way he thought until he gave me a brief look into his brain. This specific day was a good test of his kind and soft hearted nature.

“Alcohol abuse and alcoholism can affect all aspects of a person’s life.” Even though it is legal for anybody at least age twenty-one and over, alcohol is commonly abused among adults. When people think about alcohol abuse, they usually only focus on the one person who is drinking in excess, but what if that person has a family or is a parent? How does alcoholism affect their children or loved ones? The majority of people would suggest that binge drinking only mainly affects the one person doing it, they do not realize that it affects their children and families as a whole. In general, children and families are affected in a negative way when combated with the issue of a parent or very close relative being an alcoholic. First, I will

Good evening. Thank you. One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his own way, and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider.

He started drinking alcohol when he was 15 years old. He drank 1-2 drinks at a time and 2-3 times a week. He never liked beer, just for social. He drank heavily since his wife died of cancer when he was 42 years old. He was grieving and felt sad for the loss and “drink to cope with emotional pain.” Being lonely in the house, he drank to bed. In the morning, instead of coffee, he would have a shot to get going. He was rushed to emergency department 10 years ago by his friend. After that, he stopped using the alcohol and went through Father Ashley’s program in 1.5 years later. He kept clean for the last 8 years and worked as a manager at a car dealership. He was attending A.A. meeting and kept clean. The recent relapse was a bad luck. He got
