Author’s Note: This book is darker then my usual in terms of trigger content. This story deals with domestic, alcoholism and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder.) If you are one of the hundreds thousands of individuals who struggle with one or several of these issues then you may find the contents of this fic upsetting. If it in any way helps, this story will have a happy ending but as in any hardship, this will not be achieved without many struggles and hurdles. As always, feel free to leave comments and enjoy.
