What do i do about my father? And/or Advice?
I dont wanna go on a huge rant so i will just say my dad is an alcoholic, gambling addict. He doesnt care about anyone but himself and yells and freaks out aout the smallest things. Him and my mom always fight and he always does whatever he can to make me feel like crap and tells me im a f***up and never gonna be sucessful. Every holiday he ruins it because he always gets mad, I cried myself to sleep on christmas eve. I was gonna see a therapist about this and some other stuff but he found out and started acting better so i would change my mind and cancel it. Then the day after the appointment would have been he went back to his old self. How do i get him out of my life because i cant take it anymore, the only solution i see is to kill myself to end it. Im being completely serious BTW. What am i supposed to do about my f***up of a dad?

DON'T kill yourself!!!!!!!!!!!! Meet a therapist. Now that you know his trick then you can go back. Try to stay yourself. don't react. I know that this will be really hard but I really think that your whole FAMILY needs a therapist. People like you can't live like this. The world needs you. Also try a hobby, like I think that you would be a great writer. Or take up martial arts or something that you can take out your anger on and is easily accessible. For you it might be music, acting, sports, woodwork, sculpting. Try to improve your life at school, that might help you too. You can't let your dad get the best of you. Plus killing yourself would ruin, (obviously) your life, your moms life, relatives life, friends life. Stay strong and don't give up!

If you're an adult, find an AlAnon chapter; if underage, find an AlAteen chapter. Both are for sober people who find their lives seriously impacted by another person's drinking. The people there won't give advice, won't judge you or your father, won't pity you or look down on you or your father, but they will listen, will care, will share their experiences and will tell you what has and hasn't worked for them. I recommend seeing the therapist, too, even though your father will feel threatened by it. Living with an active alcoholic is living hell, and you could use a bit of help in recovering from the damage done.

PLEASE DO NOT KILL YOURSELF!!!!I don't know who you are but i don't want anyone to get hurt!If he starts acting better when you call a therapist for counselling go ahead and do the counselling so that you can tell somebody.Also that shows him how you feel.You can start to talk about God to make him understand what he is doing is wrong and that he can change into a man that loves his family.He'll realize that what he is doing is wrong!Just please do not kill yourself!Do you know that if you do that then it won't help at all?You'll end up going not to Heaven but a world of darkness and evil!You'll go wear people go when they aren't saved.I'm not going to say the word because I don't cuss. You will be in more pain if you kill your self. :(
