My Dad keeps hitting my mom when he is drunk. My mom is starting to get drunk too. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister at home, younger than I am. Should I start making my life for myself or stay home and go threw the torture every week.

What you should do is call the authorities. Your mom may not be willing to step up to the plate so you should. Your brothers & sister needs to be in a stable living environment. You definitely need to get out, but don't forget about them, they need a way out too before they get hurt. It's only a matter of time.

Get out of there,
Get your siblings to alateen if they are old enough. You should attend also or Alanon , so you can deal with the issues that have affected you.
Also if your dad hits your mom, you should be calling the police. If he is not stopped he could do something worse. You can have him removed from the house if he is a threat to you and your family.
If you are old enough to move out then you are old enough to step up to the plate and protect your family any way you can.
They do not need to be emotionally abused by your father....

You move out and get a place to live that your brothers and sister can come to if their lives get worse. You can also call in Domestic Abuse to the cops and get your father thrown into a holding cell until he's sober again. You can do this as many times as you want.

You have two choices. First is to do the easier and leave it all behind. Second, and to me the responsible and caring decision is to take care of your younger siblings. If that means calling the police or child protection agency, whatever. But to leave the ones you care about in a terrible situation is going to be hard to forget when you get older and realize what you have done. Think long and hard on this one.

If you are able to GET OUT!! That situation will work on you and will end up causing you problems in your personal relationships. Get some counseling to work through your feeling and anger at your dad. It is too bad that there are children involved, because they always suffer most.

That is hard to say because you didnt state your age. Do you drive yet? Are your parents reasonable when they are sober? Try researching Al Anon and see what resources they have. You can try to see what others who were in your situation did and try to apply it to yours. The one bit of experience I can pass on to you is living alone is tough at times but not as bad as living with abusive parents, or substance abusing parents.

If your old enough then move out. Then, if you think your brothers & sister are going to be abused you can have them over sometimes so they aren't always around all that.

I would advise you to contact the authorities if you feel that you or your family members are being harmed or abused.
