Tic-toc, tic-toc tic-toc. I can hear the ticking of the clock on the living room which indicates that it's midnight. I'm still wide awake and didn't notice that it's already this late. Well, this is just another night of watching vlogs and music videos of my handsome and charming korean 'oppas'. I paused the music video I'm currently watching and all I hear is the deafening silence of the neighborhood when suddenly I heard a loud 'BAAM!' sound outside. I surely know what's happening so I hurriedly ran out of my room and there I saw my dad lying on the floor, slowly crawling to their room like a worm. Tsk! It's nothing new, I'm used to this, NO, actually our whole family is used to this scenario. We're used to see our dad drinking alcohol every night. He's either drinking alone or drinking with friends. He's not like this before though. He used to be the sweet-loving father who wants the best for his children and he's very hardworking too and I do love and respect him for that. But now? I'm not too sure. I'm starting to lose my respect everytime I see him throwing and breaking things whenever he's drunk. I can't bear to see my sibling's perplex reactions and hurting emotions everytime they witness our parents fighting all because of my dad's behaviors when he's drunk. It's disappointing that the burning love that our family once had has turned into ashes as my dad's negative behaviors surfaced when he became addicted to alcohol. I had a lot of chances before to leave this house and escape this depressing reality but I just can't. I know that as the eldest daughter, I have the responsibility to give moral and emotional support to my mom and my siblings. My family is so messed up right now, but I'm hoping and praying that one day my dad will change back to the loving father that I once adore, that one day we will have that happy family I'm longing for. Oh well, enough for this negative thoughts. I came back from my reverie when I heard small cries from the other bedroom, my younger sister is crying again - poor child, she's too young to experience this.
Ten minutes is up! However, I am writing this based on my real experience so I have a lot to say. This experience clearly shows the negative effects if a person becomes addicted to alcohol. It can ruin good family relationships, children tends to lose respect to their parents and it can bring depressing emotion and heartaches to children. It's okay to drink alcohol as long as you do it with moderation and it's also okay if you drink just to release tension and stress but it's NOT okay being a drunkard!
