heya,

I'm sorry that you had to experience that. Its horrible to have a parent that is addicted to alcohol. My mum is and it breaks my heart watching her drink. I agree with romperfry, you cannot fix him- i have leanr this. You need to think of you, and maybe one day when you are stable, you and your Dad and try and rebuild the relationship.

Resentment is a haorrible thing and it manifests for years and then rears its ugly head when they are trying to be nice!
Alcholism is an illness, and like with anything the person has to admit they have a problem before they can get help. Often it is due to things that have happened that they havent dealt with, like with most addictoon, it is there as a cover up. Whatever we as children say to them, they are the only ones who can change, which is the worse thing as we cannot fix it.

Take care and be strong x
