A Life Turned Upside Down : My Dad's an Alcoholic

Notes

Father is an alcoholic, and mother a follower of a cult. These parents may be a little strange, but the protagonist
is their daughter nonetheless. The mother has looked after the alcoholic father without ever complaining, when one day, she commits suicide.
The story comically portrays the father’s misadventures as a drunken monster while also touching upon the mother’s loneliness, as the protagonist desperately struggles to search out a brighter future while her family falls apart. What will she feel when the “monster” dies?
