In reply to the discussion: Well, my wife went away for the weekend... [View all]TexasBushwhacker
(20,853 posts)22. My dad was in denial about his parents
and, frankly, about himself. When his father died and his mother went to live with my aunt, my dad's job was to clean his parents house out to prepare it to be sold. They were hoarders as well as being drunks. Daddy started finding pint and half pint bottles of liquor here, there and everywhere. Stashed in kitchen and bathroom cabinets, behind and underneath furniture, etc... Daddy started putting them on the kitchen table, just to see how many he found. It ended up being over a hundred. As much as they drank, it would have been more economical to buy gallons, but almost all the bottles were pints and half pints.
