The noise is louder today...
My neighbor's wife screaming at the top of her lungs as he lands punch after punch. The noise today has to perplex everyone in the neighborhood, but no one dares challenge that man, not after he's been drinking.
There's never a time you'll see him without a bottle in his hands. People used to say that there was a time he was forced to abstain from drinking, so he cut his own wrist and drank the blood flowing and got drunk again. It was probably meant to be a funny story, but there's nothing funny about it. With that liquid he kindled a drunken fire at the base of the home that used to be called happy, and he has reduced it to ashes.
His children used to look healthy and full of life, but now, the two charming young men show up at school with bruises under their eyes, looking as sickly as ever. Their grades are slipping, because no one is there to help them with their school work. Their mom has been beaten so much, I hear she's filing a divorce soon. Maybe it's what's best for her. Maybe that way, she'll be able to escape the horror of that home.
It all started when he lost his job. He, like most men, used to say alcohol provided a much needed release in his life. A chance to escape from the harsh reality of life. I don't support that ideology. I think alcohol is a worm that eats into the core of a person's being, and transforms them from good to bad, from man to monster.

This speaks much reality. I also know some families like this in our neighborhood. It really didn't turn out well for the children.
That's a very good content😊 I noticed the very good title too 😊❤
