It’s okay.
I feel a whole bunch of feelings.
Im angry because he’s supposed to be my father, and be there for me.
I feel neglected because he seems to always ignore me. ( it’s a painful feeling) Nervous because a few things happened with me and my father. Im scared that they will happen again.
Unloved.
Unworthy.

But I g2g Im actually at school.
So I will talk to you later.
What happened with you and him?

I am so sorry. I can just imagine how hard that must have been for you.
Did you have the child?
If so did you keep the child?
Or are you just pregnant now?

I am so sorry that your father did that to you. He had no right to do such a
thing. I know how hard it is to deal with something so heart breaking.

Hope your okay.

I really hope someone out there can give me some advice. My father is an alcoholic and has been an alcoholic for as long as I can remember. Until 3 years ago he always ad good jobs, earned a decent salary and kept his drinking as much as a secret as possible from his collegues. He retired 3years ago and his drinking increased then, probably because he had too much time on his hands, no hobbies and no friends. A few months ago his wife left him and he has now taken to staying in bed for days at a time drinking vodka straight. He has never been a social drinker, always drank vodka straight in private. By that I mean he could seem pretty sober then go for a shower and come back completely pissed. He had obviously downed a half bottle of vodka in the shower. If you asked if he had been drinking he would deny it till the end. I wonder if he has had some sort of breakdown and this could be why the drinking has spiralled completely out of control? I dont know what to do to help him, I have young family of my own and do feel resentfull that I have to worry about my 63 year old father. Help, I need avice big time.

Well the only thing i could think of is suggesting to him that he goes to AA.( Alcoholics Anonymous.) Or just being there for him and support him the best you can, be there for him when he is sober ( if he ever is ) and talk to him about all of that than. Maybe it will be easier to have a conversation with the person that is completely sober.
Theres nothing you can really do unless the alcoholic is actually willing to stop drinking.
Im sorry I cant really help.
Hope everything is going alright : )

Hi, my dad is an alcoholic. he has struggled with this for the last 5 years or so but has managed to go without for a long time and we thought he was recovering. however, he has gone back to it and we cannot stop him. he has a medical issue which meas he is not supposed to drink anyway.
he is a very intelligent man however he seems like a different person now. it used to be like he was 2 people - different when he was sober however now it seems like the alcohol has had a permanent effect on him and even when he is sober he seems not with it.

it breaks my heart that he is suffering this and in a way it isnt his fault……but we have tried so many times to help him and it feels like he doesnt care. he has had some close calls and even that hasn’t been a wake up call for him.

I have no clue what to do….and i think we are either going to lose him soon or have to witness him suffer something awful like dementia….i have heard alcohol can cause this and sometimes i think i see the signs.

any advise?
