I will tell you the story of a man who was a drug addict before but became a good father now.
Before my father is a drug addict, alcoholic and a trouble maker. Year's ago my father is very iresponsible. Even he has a children he doesn't care. He do what's he wants and makes him happy he's selfish. My mother sacrifices everything for us but he never left my father because she told us my father needs her and she's the only one who can help my father.
My father and his friend are very annoying. Everytime they came to our house they only do is to make usually do they make a session. Me and my older brother see what they doing. I saw some lighter, foil or what so ever. But he told us that we should not tell to my mother because my mother will get mad to him and to his friends. You know as a young kid I still don't know what they are doing so I keep on playing.
One time I saw my mother crying and I asked her why and my mother answer me " it's Nothings" she tells me. So i walked a way. Then sunddenly I saw my father coming and they started to fight my father shouting to my mother and say "I don't have a mistress" but my mother still insist that she saw them.
Me as the youngest of all my siblings I get cry also because I saw what's my father did to my mother. But my mother is still there and he never left. I don't know but all I know is that he really loves my father.
I get mad to him. I confronted him. I told him why you always choose to hurt my mother? Are you happy for whatever you did in your life? And still don't care for the people who cares with you? After that he just walked away and for a week he left us. Until one day he came back.
When I enter the school. I suddenly find that my father is slowly changing. He find work. If his friend called him he always tell to them that he's not going. I know some of his friends are not good influence to him but he still tries to not to do what's his usually do.
And finally her sister decided to get him and give him work to his canteen here in Laguna. And after that my Auntie build a business which is a Vulcanizing and assigned to manage that and to work also.
Me and my two elder siblings are left before in province because we still in schooling. And my mother and my other two siblings are with him in Laguna.
When he worked here in Laguna I find that he changed. He don't use drugs again for a years now. But he's still drinking alcohols. And thats okay for us.
Now my mother and father is still together. But my mother is an OFW in Riyadh. And now they have about twelve grandchildren.
This is my father.
This is her sister.
Some of his grandchildren
He told us that the most important thing in his life now is his grandchildren. Wh. He helped us everytime we need him. He always there for us. And I thank to God because he enlightened the mind of my father.
