Living with father (Help)

I live with my father who is a functionable alcoholic, hes very successful but made some mistakes in life and its like I need to get high just to deal with him. He was just diagnosed with liver cancer and still drinks. Im also 36 years old and also an addict. I tend to stay home all the time, I really wanna go out but when I do he would call me like 10 times wondering where I am. Tbis was about when I was 28 to present.

Could he be giving me the paranoid feelings, like im afraid to go out because hes wondering where I am. He took 5000 dollars outta my bank account without telling me. He has given me everything growing up but he is impossible to talk too. I should be on my own at this age, its so confusing. I need to get a job but my soical anxiety is horrible. All we do is wstch tv together all day and hardly talk.

I shouldnt judge him. Geezi just dont know. I collect disability and for me to get my own place they would take more money outta my check. I have so msny hospital bills, i dont know anything about bankruptcy. Im just really confused. If I was stable I would of moved out a long time ago. I was an addict my whole life, I use to steal from them and I should be thankful they still will let me live under their roof. Its a difficult situation.

I think I will take the dogs to the park today because im feeling good.

It sure is. You have the option of simply defaulting on your hospital bills. You'll get phone calls for awhile, but there is no law that says you have to answer any questions on the telephone. The parties you owe money to can not garnish your SSDI check. The main compelling reason that people go into bankruptcy is to protect assets they have.

The problem of living with your father won't go on forever, as it doesn't sound like he will live many more years. You might want to think about what you will do then. It sounds like your mother is in the home too.

If you want to recover from addiction, you probably need some social and medical support to help you. It could be worth your while to seek out support groups and any programs in your area. Also, talk to your doctor about it. (You probably have already, I'm guessing.) You're still young and could possibly make major change in your life.

Your feelings that you describe as paranoid could come from multiple things that are going on in your life. What you describe is a sure recipe for misery. More than anything, you need to find some people to associate with who do not drink or use.

Going to the park with the dogs is a very good option for today.
