Answer 1

its not your fault. your doing everything you can. your dad should be responsible to know that he ahs a family and drinking is not what he should be doing adn dont let him touch you in anyway or kick you around. i can understadn how you would feel but its not your fault but i can also she how it would be weird to like hae friends over and stuff like that.

Call Alcon. Check the Yellow Pages or go online and type in Alcohol Abuse Help for family members living with a alcoholic. They can help you cope with this problem.

I wouldn't worry about it.  100 years from now,  no one will know the difference.

Answer 4

So, you're probably in school.  Go to your guidance counselor and explain to her your situation.  Most likely, they'll send your dad to a rehabiliation center to get sober.  I suggest you do this, especially since a lot of people have no clue what they're doing when they've been drinking.
