Lately my dad has been drinking a lot. I mean he use to drink every once in a while but now almost everyday he comes home almost drunk. I know my mom doesn't like when he does this because he argues a lot, yells, acts rude, and says and does stupid things. Also I know he drives when he defiantly shouldn't be this also makes my mom mad because my dad is usually the one to pick up my little sister after school and she doesn't like the idea of him drinking alcohol and driving. I know they fight a lot about this. Almost every time they fight (she sends us to our rooms) my mom ends up crying and saying she wants him to happy without having to drink all the time. I don't know what to do.. Should I just stay out of it and respect their relationship so they can figure it out or what I don't know? I feel so conflicted that I should have my moms back. I want to tell her that I think he needs to get help bc he acts this way.. My dad is an awesome guy when he sober but a different person when he drinks.
Is there someone (an adult relative, or someone at your church, or someone that they both respect) that can talk to them together? Has something happened lately to cause him to go off the deep end this way? They need help, especially your father.
Sick. I wish I knew what to say. You're growing up in a sick day and age. Try talking with them, if you can.
I'm so sorry you have to listen to them fight, I grew up with my parents fighting a lot and I moved out to get away from it. Your Mother needs to find strength and get away from him, he is putting your sister in danger by drinking and driving-is there any way you can talk to your mom? Honestly, once my parents were fighting like this I called the police to make it stop.
