The Dry Drunk Waltz
She learned the dance of anger, frustration and denial from her father, but replaced it with the sweeter music of AA
It wasn't till my father threw my mother's mother across the kitchen and broke her arm that he was forced to stop drinking. He had grown up with a very drunk and abusive father and violence and alcohol were all he knew. My mother told him that if he ever touched a drop of alcohol again their marriage was over. Thus, my father stopped drinking at twenty-five and became a dry drunk for the rest of his life.
