My dad wants me to move out…

I am a senior in high school, and only have a few months left before I’m off to college in new york… He only tells me he wants me gone when he’s drunk… should I take him seriously, and go stay with a friend, or should I tough it out and stay here until I leave for school? I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my family (well, its kind of messed up already, but its not completely ruined… If I left, would my dad see it as me walking out (like, he was only saying those things out of anger and drunkenness) but if I stay, would he see me as a burden and cause tension in other aspects of my family life?

Get your dad when he’s sober and tell him that when he tells you to move out when he’s drunk he really makes you feel like he does not care for you. Then ask him, when he’s sober, if he really means for you to move out. If he says yes, then tell him you will start looking for a place right away and just stay there for the rest of the time that it will take for you to move out.

Honestly, I don’t think he means what he says. He might be under a lot of stress and that is why he tells you that.

Is he an alcoholic?

Hi Katz, littlenick is right. Get your dad when he is sober and in a good mood and ask him if he prefer you leave home before you finish school. Carol

Yeah he’s an alcoholic, but not dangerously so. He evades the question, or will ask me if I WANT to move out.

So what is your reply to him when he asks?

I’ll try and ask him if he’s serious. he just twists whatever I say around, and eventually changes the subject to whatever is making him mad at that time.
