Ok, so the deal is im 16 and all my life my dad has benn a drunk. I'm the youngest of 3 so I've kinda been sheltered from it. Now, I'm the only one left living in the house. My dad doesn't live with me. My mom and me always fight and my dad keeps breaking promises. I'm done. Is it ok that I don't ever want to talk to my dad again? How can I deal with it??? I don't want to go through counseling or anything like that. But is it normal I'm to the point of never talking to him again?

same with me and my mom. i moved out of her house 8 months ago. i barely talked to her in the last 8 months but i just started again. sometimes u need to give them time to get their life in order. i just started to talk to my mom again so im not sure how its going to go. dont make him a huge part of ur life. talk to him but dont give him a chance to break any promises. good luck

he is your father and because of him you are here. there are times i have never wanted to even look at my dad and i still ended up talking to him. he loves you alot even though he doesnt show it. but somewhere in that man of alchohol is your father. you love him alot.
you would be lost without him. it is bad to break promises though. tell him you love him and want him to stop drinking and then say if he loves you he will stop.

Yes, it is completely normal. They do have support groups for kids of alcoholics. It is called Ala-teen. Do a web search and see if there is a group near you.
