Family problems?

First of all you need to understand that the way your father acts is in no way your fault...It sounds like he is an alcoholic and if he drinks alot then he is going to be set off by small things and you never know when its going to happen. It isn't likely that he is going to stop drinking unless he gets help and even then if he doesn't want to change then he it isn't going to help much. I don't mean to sound negative but he needs to get some help before things get worse. If you want to talk e-mail me

Well "he won't stop drinking' struck me. Is he by any chance and alcoholic - his behaviour seems to fit.

If that is the case you are not at fault - don't even go there in you mind - that is his problem, which has nothing to do with you though alcoholics like to blame everyone else while in their disease.

If his drinking is out of hand may I suggest you find an Ala-teen group, or Al Anon group in your area. These are groups that help you deal with the alcoholic ( go with you Mom). Sorry to say but an alcoholic makes everyone around them sick as they are, and you really need help or he'll do your head in.

This is NOT your fault and I beg you if he won't get help get help for yourself before your life gets as screwed up as his.

Hope your Dad gets help.

You need to go to Alateen or Alanon meetings which are for relatives and friends of alcoholics. Dad sounds like a raging alcoholic.
