"Lauren, I have not gone through anything that begins to be similar to the nightmare that you are describing. Anger at your father is completely appropriate, even necessary. But I suspect that beneath the anger at your father there is…"

"Maybe part of this is post partum depression. I had it 30 years ago when they called it baby blues. I see why you feel the way you do though."

I'm trying to not blame my dad for my mom's death
My mother passed away last Thursday and my and I just had a newborn baby 2 months ago. My mother and my father are both alcoholics and addicts. They were both doing very badly physically and mentally and my mom was so sick that she wasn't able to drive anywhere in order to get alcohol and so my father would go and get stuff alcohol so that he could drink and she would feed her alcohol knowing that it was killing her. She would continuously fall down the stairs and hit her head and have to go to…See More

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mr.jamespollard5@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.

Hi Lauren, the sudden death of someone close brings with it every emotion you can imagine and more. Anger is the most common one. Perhaps not for the same reasons as yours. Alcoholism is an addiction and it rules peoples minds. It controls people beyond what we think as normal. They see the world differently. All they want is their addiction and nothing else. It may also be that your Dad had he been sober may not have been able to save your Mom. Your Dad didn't kill her, the alcohol did.
We always want to blame someone for our loss. That is only natural and it is part of the grieving process. This site helped me and many others. Don't hide your feelings. Always be open no matter what other people say. There is no length of time our grief will last for. Don't let anyone say different. Sending you a special hugg from Scotland. John

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide
If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
