What do I do about my alcoholic dad?
i’m 16 and my dad has been a drunk all my life. he starts at about 11am everyday and goes until about 9pm. the only time i ever see him sober is once in a while before school if he’s up. he’s a violent drunk though. he hasn’t hurt me or my mom yet. but he threatens me all the time telling me he’s going to kill me and beat me to death. i usually don’t say anything to him just sit in my room and ignore him with my mom. sometimes i do argue back though. he goes crazy with his words and then he starts putting holes through the walls and stuff like that. i don’t know what to do about him. should i call the cops when he’s doing all this? what will they do to him? or how can i get him taken away to rehab without his permission? anyone have any advice?
thank you so much
