My father's high

Often the children of parents who are absorbed in their substance abuse problems are quiet in the face of this trauma. Two young writers disclose how their fathers' substance abuse traumatized them and broke up their families; one father was an absent drug addict, another was an abusive alcoholic. "Alcohol has plagued my life without me ever touching a drop." This story is one of a series as youth in Del Norte identified the biggest problems in their communities, on Redwood Voice.
