Daughter of the Drunk at the Bar Quotes

“The door in my heart that slammed shut on my father years ago, now slams shut on Mom too. The slamming tears something and makes a permanent wound, like a leg being crushed by a heavy object. Pulling out, you lose the leg, but gain your freedom. If you survive you’ll surely limp, but you’ll no longer be bound. Someday with the right support you will walk, and maybe even run again.”
― Michelle O’Neil, Daughter of the Drunk at the Bar
