Bettys dad was a bad alcoholic. He wasn't always like this though. It only started after he started getting stressed from work and then him and Alice started arguing. Then one day Betty came home from school and found her dad passed out on the couch whilst her mum was still at work. He had overdosed and Betty was the one that found him. So after that Betty and Alice had to leave because they started getting tight with money and they just couldn't be in that house anymore so they left to Alice's home town where Betty had been but she was only one before they moved so she wouldn't of remembered it.
