my dad would go to his parents/my grandparents because they would have parties at their house. it was fun, but we would never spend the night. my dad would also go to his friends house, probably to pick up meth. he would drive back after drinking all night and tweaked out. my family is filled with alkies and drugies so i dont think anyone thought it was a bad idea to drive two kids fucked up through the desert at night. my dad would just listen to c2c and yell about the government. he thought bill clinton was the devil and the government was trying to have absolute control over us and erode our freedoms. he wasnt a bad guy, my dad wasnt abusive or anything, he was actually not a bad guy, he just made bad decisions.
