Drunk Driving Dad (Were You in That Car?)

(The following is a true story. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.) A young boy was in his dad’s car driving home. The problem was his dad was drunk. The boy gripped tightly to the seat each time the car drifted over the center line. (Can you imagine his feelings of fear?) […]
