I’m very sad right now. My father and I have not spoken since Sunday. I started the not talking because he threw up in our front yard (he’s an alcoholic). I was so angry that I didn’t want to speak to him. I’ve been planning on moving out for a few months now and this month should be my last here. This is not how I want to spend it, but I’m the one who as to cave if I want things to go back to normal. The thing is when your constantly caving it wears on you. I’m just so tired on this **** he’s always acts like he’s the victim, he got so drunk that he threw-up on our front yard and the next morning my mom on mothers day had to clean it up! That’s just not fair. I’m just upset right now because I can’t really talk to him, I’ve already tried that many times. I will just walk in there and cave so that we can have a nice happy goodbye and pretend like everything is aright, but right now I just can’t.

Have you ever tried going to some alanon meetings? I would recommend that, I think it would help you, and your relationship with your father. Try different meetings, and try several meetings. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what alanon is all about or to find a meeting where you feel "at home." You will learn great coping skills in dealing, with love, with the alcoholic in your life.

With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
