In a house where an alcoholic lives,
no one else can ever have a problem,
a serious problem won't be addressed,
however, denial of any problem
on the whole may become the norm of life
until a break is made, boundaries set,
seldom do individual problems,
especially in children get noticed,
while the needs of the alcoholic rule,
hungry for attention to fill a void,
even lashing out in a jealous rage,
rarely ever spoken about later,
everything swept away from outsiders,
apparently, an extremely clean home
noticeably presents a false image,
an impression of the perfect household
lingers in contradiction to the facts,
control lies at the heart of the problem,
only the need to show total control,
harnesses the horses to the carriage,
only the need to present pure order,
leaves the drunken horse master at the gate,
in the case of each home, behind closed doors,
closed windows with drapes, anything happens,
little kids don't realize the difference,
in their home compared to other kid's homes,
virtually, no one talks about home,
especially with other kids, their friends,
simply no one else knows there's a problem.
