anyway...

no you were not out of line. next time your dad blows up and you call him an alcoholic and ask him where hes been for the last 15 years. this will either **** him off more or make him start thinking.
I am thinking the boy might get a beating...

Why is it that as soon as I read that I had visions of those Capital One commercials?

My sister was married to an alcoholic and living with somebody like that is not fun. In my opinion, and it's an opinion, you need to make sure that dear ol' dad steps up to the plate and take responsibility for his actions. He broke the chair, he needs to get out and buy a new one. Doing it for him gets you and him nothing but the same thing- him being drunk and not being responsible. I would suggest not talking with him over a few beers. You don't need to add to his drinking problem. My brother in law drank himself to death. It was hard on the entire family and took a tremendous toll on my sister. Not only did she have to work to put food on the table, she had to clean up his mess everyday. And when he could no longer take care of himself, she had to clean that up too. Having a drunk or an alcoholic in the house is an experience I hope none of you get to experience. A person with cancer that is bed ridden is a far better scenario than a drunk. At least the cancer victim isn't responsible for his own demise. Frankly, if I were your grandmother, he'd be looking for another place to live. When he drys out he can come back but there would be zero alcohol in the house and he would never be allowed to come home drunk either. You won't get any respect or co-operation from a drunk by doing things for them. It's called tough love.

I can only wish you luck but the future for your family isn't the greatest.

Tell the old man to put down the bottle, and pick up a fattie.


He'll be a lot easier to get along with.

One question for the OP.

Can you stand in the middle of your "house" and touch both walls?

My advice is be a man. Your 21, you have a mother and a grandmother living in your home. Nobody wants to get in a fight with their old man, but sometimes you don't get a choice. He chooses to drink, he can choose to stop. Find what makes him drink, and try and fix that. If he doesn't want to stop, F him..........

My dad suffored a stroke 9 years ago. He is really hard to get along with sometimes cuz he feels like he cant do much since his left half is 90% paralyzed. I know he also feels he can get away with stuff cuz of his condition. I imagine your dad thinks the same way. I personally have no patience for my dad when he gets like that cuz we do everything we can for him and even bend over backwards when he gets pissy. My advice is dont give in to him one bit. If he sees he can get away with being drunk and throwing fits then it will only get worse. Dont take it cuz your just helping him sink into self pitty too. I hope you can work things out with him cuz it sucks to have those problems. I know what your going through.
