Question by : Is it normal to feel extremely bitter toward an ex drug addict parent?
I lived with my father from the time I was ten years old to thirteen years old. He was a selfish drug addict who put me, my stepmother and stepsister through hell. He always used to have druggies coming in and out of the house all hours of the night, and was a complete asshole to all of us. Now he’s gotten clean now acts like he was never made us suffer when he was using. Is it normal for me to be extremely bitter toward him, cause everyone seems to think I should get over it.
Best answer:
Answer by Julia35 I think you have a right to your feelings. I have an alcoholic Father that has put me through hell and disowned me. I even had to put him in rehab. Anyways, if he all of a sudden changed. And decided to be this holier than though person. I would have the same feelings as you.

Be positive on Woodbury potential
In response to Valerie Antonio’s May 1 letter (“Nice plan, but is Woodbury ready?”), I have to say I believe the plan to rehab the City of Woodbury is both desirable and realistic. The plan may require a bit of tweaking; it may need serious assistance from the local citizens to bring it to fruition. Read more on Gloucester County Times

My grandpa died when I was 20. I talked to him for two hours on the phone the day he died. He was my best friend, and my youngest aunt said his last words were “get Jason he can help”. I’ve never met my father, and I hear he is a piece of work. I called my grandmother on that side of the family and she told me she is an 80 year old blind woman and wanted to be left alone.
I do love my grandmother on my mom’s side, and my real mom died 5 years ago. I was adopted by my oldest aunt. So I know a lot about loss. I’m just wondering how people feel about losing most of their family before they are even 32? I turn 32 next week.
I think of historical figures like George Washington who was given an estate at the young age of 17 because both his father and uncle died in their 40′s. I’m sure he was a strong person that was able to lead not only his family, but troops, and eventually go against the greatest empire.
What are your thoughts on loss? I think the most inspirational book I read on this topic was ‘Why Bad Things Happen to Good People’ by Harold S. Kushner. But sometimes I feel little solace anyway. I wrote my grandma a letter last week that she read. My meth addicted uncle won’t let me visit her because he calls the cops since I turned him in for abusing her. And she supported him because that is her way when the department of aging came to check on her.
