Answer #1

my father is a heavy drinker too . my parents splitt up over it even . maybe you should talk to him & tell him you love him and want to help , just ask him to cut down on his drinking but dont be mean about it that will most likely make him mad . and talk to him when he’s not drinking or drunk… hope that helped (:

Answer #2

There is only one thing you can do, but I’m not sure it would be the best road. You can call child services, but you have to understand they may very well take you out of the home. You need to try and have an honest discussion with him when he is sober about what his drinking is doing to the family and offer support if he will quit and go to AA. Otherwise, all you can do is go to alanon meetings, which will help you, because they focus on the family of the alcoholic and the harm it’s causing. If he won’t listen to you, go to alanon meeting to keep YOU healthy, hole up in your room when there is drama, and get out on your own as soon as your are able and make GOOD choices.
