My dad used to be an alcoholic back when he was 20. When he met my mom, he went through a treatment center and has stayed sober for twenty years. Now, since that 20 year mark has passed, my dad has been drinking again. I'm not supposed to know but my mom let it slip. He refuses to go through a treatment center, saying he'd rather kill himself than go through treatment again. My mom said she is just going to leave, but things are so bad, I know that if she leaves, she isn't coming back. What makes things worse is that my brother Mike, who is 19, is following in his footsteps. He comes home at all hours of the night. We find booze in his truck day after day. He is getting out of control. Yet, my dad doesn't care. My mom is the one who deals with it. My family is falling apart. Now, we had a family vacation planned for this week, we are supposed to leave tonight. Yet, we aren't going. I could care less....I wanna know how to help my family not fall apart! I don't know what to do...
