Sometimes what hurts the most, is knowing the inevitable. It was during the warm summer days in the middle of August. School had just started back up and I was venturing on into the fifth grade. It was just your average elementary school year, getting ready to transition into middle school. But what I happen to remember most prominently, is the day after my sister's birthday.

I was pressured from my father to study harder and it was not easy studying with an alcoholic that seemed very…
