There are two organizations for relatives of alcoholics: Al-Anon for family members, and Alateen for young people specifically. For the person who originally posted for advice on his/her father's alcoholism, please, PLEASE contact your local chapter of either of these groups.
In my small town as I grew up, we did not have these organizations, and I lived through my father's drinking problem and abusiveness in silence. It took many years for me to learn it was not my fault. Please call them, that you may find support from those who know. Many, many blessings to you and your father, that you both will come to know serenity.
(REPLY) Sat Nam. Thank you for this excellent advice! blessings, SP
