At times he would stay sober for months until he would fall back into his addiction and would not work and would drink until sometimes, he would drink for weeks and sometimes months.The boy's mother loved her family and worked hard to keep our father focused but she was not always successful. With nine children it was hard to work outside of the family. The family lived in a two-bedroom house had to cope with what they had available to them. There were not a lot of extras.The town had many resources but was also very prejudiced against Hispanic families. When his father worked with addiction it was always hard to keep a job.
