When my grandmother was 13, her mother left her family. This forced her to have to grow up. She couldn't be a child anymore because she had to take care of her 4 brothers. They were all younger than her. She was forced to take on the role of the family's mother. She had no help from her father because he had a very bad alcohol addiction. He was the reason her mother left so she had very little respect for him. She felt that she was on her own to take care of brothers. She was very overwhelmed with responsibility at a very young age. She learned a lot from the situation, like a good work ethic because of having to do all the things she had to take on. She also learned not to drink because she doesn't know how it could effect her. Now, she still has a strong work ethic and a very close family.
