regress

My dad called last night and I could tell right away that he had been drinking.
as far as I know, this is the first time he has drank since his near-death health scare in September.
It took everything I had to not break down and cry on the phone.
that came later, as I hid in the bathroom and my tears blended with bathwater.

My whole life, all I've wanted is for my father to stop drinking.  But, he's an alcoholic, and as with most alcoholics, he is in denial.
I should have known it was too good to last.

Now I want to tell him about our engagement even less.
