welcome to pc, slinky! sounds like the family needs some help and your dad too. yes, i think contacting a physician or pdoc, psychiatrist, would be good to discuss this matter with them and see if they can offer some suggestions of how to convince your dad to get help. your dad can refuse of course but it's worth a try to get some stability in the family and for him. keep us posted.
