The Life Of ' Cry Baby ' : Melanie Martinez Au

Randomly, people will turn their drinking habits into a reason why to drink. Whether they drink to just have fun, to release some stress, or because they drink to help with various sorts of problems. Often, the alcoholic in the family starts drinking too much, causing the family to always be on edge and be cautious with his mood swings, because they never know how they’ll end up acting. Often in times a sign of abuse on alcohol is when ¨Legal problems, such as being arrested or harming someone else while drunk¨ said researchers in Talbott Recovery. Once the alcoholic figures what kind of power they have over the family, they’ll often tend to use it in a more manipulative way, to make sure they get what they want in the end of the day.

Kara stepped out of the shower and toweled herself off before wrapping the cloth around her naked body. She stepped in front of the mirror, pulled the tie out of her locks, and fluffed out her long curly red hair. Her cheeks were flushed and rosied. She couldn’t be sure if it was from the heat of the shower or the anticipation of the events to come this evening. Tonight was the night. For years, she’d watched the other girls in her community come of age and

“Who are you asking?” Asked Mike, “Mariah Lopez!” Shaun replied. Everybody nodded their head in agreement. “That’s right, Mariah Lopez.” Shaun carried on bragging about her special features. “You know she has a sister right,” looking at me. “Nope, I’m good.” I replied. “Well who are you asking then?” asked Mike. “I don’t know yet!” I answered. I’m taking Stacy Porter, announced Chris. I looked shocked, because I just told him last night I was going to ask her. Stacy Porter was 5”4’, light skinned, hazel eyes, white teeth and arched eyebrows. She was simply gorgeous. “So, Mell (short for Germell) who are you going to ask?” They all asked sounding like a local band hitting the same note at once. “Oh, I’m going to ask (it was dead silence for about five seconds), suddenly the bell rang for class. I walked away leaving them puzzled. As I was walking away, I heard Chris say in a conniving tone “alright we’ll meet right back here after class.”

(A.C.O.W.S.O.2003) Parents may give the child the impression that there is a terrible secret at home. The ashamed child does not invite friends home and is afraid to ask anyone

In the beginning, the person may start drinking alcohol out of the family member’s leftover drinks. Everyone finds this harmless and funny. When I was four, I would drink King Cobra twenty-four ounces beer. My dad and his friends would pay me a dollar to drink the beer. I remember running around thinking I was the queen of the world. I was finally getting some attention being the tenth child of fifteen that didn 't happen very often. I remember feeling different, and I liked it. At this time drinking would happen occasionally but I did not think about drinking when I was not. I remember when I was five walking in him shooting heroin. To me that was normal, I thought every family used drugs.

Frank Gallagher is the father of a lower class, dysfunctional family in the Showtime series “Shameless.” The biggest standout of Frank’s behavior would probably have to be how drunk he is at all times. He has been qualified as the “most impressive case of alcoholism” by a renowned doctor. This causes him to be a horrible father who fails to connect with and provide for his family due to his alcoholism and unemployment. As a result, the eldest sister of the family had to step up as the main provider. Frank exhibits many odd behaviors while intoxicated, he frequently finds himself waking up in strange places with no memory of how he arrived there, these places can range from his house kitchen in Philly to a random sidewalk bench in Toronto. But interestingly enough, his oddest behavior, at least from the perspective of his kids, comes from when he is not inebriated. This is difficult to see because Frank is always drunk, but in one episode he gets offered $3000 if he can remain sober for two weeks for a scientific study. His soberness changed everything. Instead of the kids having to
