"She’s started drinking long before that. We went through a lot of crazy in our house because of this addiction. It was sad because you always want to think that your mother loves you more than alcohol but it wasn’t about that. It was that it was an addiction. It was something psychologically that needed to be repaired from the inside. It had nothing to do with me or with my brother or with my father."
