Rough Road Traveled
When I first became a foster child, I was around 12. Thinking back, it is hard to believe I was that old before I entered the foster care system. Both of my parents were alcoholics throughout my life. When I say drinking, I don’t mean a few beers on the weekend and no drinking during the week. They both would drink nonstop, every day for months, until they both decided to stop drinking for a while. When they went through their sober spells, my three sisters, two brothers and I felt like we were a normal family. My mom would cook and clean the house and my dad would work on his car and just be dad. My dad was a World War II Veteran and had only a third grade education. My mom had a sixth grade education; she and my dad married when she was 13 and he was in his late 30’s. They only knew each other for a week before they got married.
