Jenn,

I am in the same boat as you are, and it really stinks. I dont know how old you are, i am 16 years old and its really hard because my parents are divorced, and having problems at home makes me forced to go to his house and see him. heh. it really suckkss big time. :[

Maybe try talking to him?? I talked to my father about his anger and drinking this weekend, and the way he acts in general. He DID get very angry of course, and was being manipulative with me which is not good. Afterwards, he came to me this week when he was picking us up for a visit and said, "I'm sorry for what happened over the weekend."

It DID help, it got a lot off my chest believe it or not even though he wasnt the nicest person at the moment. I recommend you strongly too talk with your therapist, or a friend. They can always give good advice to you, believe it or not. :]

Hang in there, i know how it feels. Especially when drunks get angry and physical. heh. DO NOT hesitate to email me, PM me or AIM me. I'd be glad to talk to you anytime and try to help you with whatever issues your having. :]

take care and hang in there !!!
