How am I supposed to deal with this?

Question

My step dad is an alcoholic, he's been with my mom for four years. He has been the only consistent father figure in my life and I love him to death. He also has two daughters that I absolutely love. He gave me a younger and older sister, and a complete family. But all of them have been causing my mom and I such terrible problems. My little sister is a bratt, my older sister is a snobby ***** and my dad drinks constantly. I know it's for the best that my mom kicks them out, but I don't know how to deal with it.

Answer 1

It sounds like his kids are acting out for attention. Kids do that when parents are not giving them enough attention.. If he has his face in a bottle that often then he is neglecting ALL of you including his own needs. Talk with your Mom and your sisters. Get him some help... things are best in moderation.

Answer 2

Look in the business section of your phone book and call Alcoholics Anonymous. Ask them to mail you a schedule for Alateen meetings or put you in contact with such a group. In fact, call this number: 1-866-221-4506. I think you'll find some answers for your type of situation. Good luck.

Answer 3

You yourself go to an al-anon meeting and read Codependent No More by Melodie Beattie, and maybe your mom should too.

Go to an Alateen meeting. You can't control anyone else's behavior, but you can learn how to deal with it.
