The starting point has to be tough

It took me much too long to figure out the most basic title to this blog. What is it about? What do I want to write about and what for? My family, my dad, or is it all just about me, needing time and space to express the confusion of thoughts that are mingling with most various ideas coming to my mind.

Am I setting a goal, objective, or am I on a mission? What is the difference between these words? How can I fully express myself after deciding to write in a foreign language? Does any of this matter?

Everything matters. I want this to be my way of contributing to a better present, creating a stronger foundation for my family's future. Writing has helped me before, however this time the topic is a bit too much for me to simply put it on a paper, which makes blogging the perfect choice.

My dad has problems with alcohol. I honestly believe he's not yet an alcoholic but he definitely needs help with it. I'm 24, soon to be graduating from university. My family is just another family, with a teenager, money problems and cable TV. I hope there are yet many years of stupid fights, jokes that only us five understand, things that we'd never talk about together, colds and flus that we'll share, in front of us. I don't want life as it is now to change suddenly for a such seamless life companion as only alchol can be.

I've accepted the fact that it has gone over the edge and that we got to a point where we can't seem to find any good way to move on without consequences. I am not asking for help, I just want to share this experience with 'the web world'. And if anyone wants to share his or her thoughts, I'd be grateful for a comment ...
