How do I cope with my dad's alcoholism? For a bit of context, I'm 17, and my dad has been drinking for roughly 7 years at this point. He started drinking in 2019, and I don't think I've seen him sober since then. He tends to start fights when he's drunk, he'll try to claim that I hate him and tell me that I'm a horrible monster of a person and that he wishes I were dead. I reached my breaking point with him this month, When I had a seizure and hit my face when I fell so hard that I dislocated my nose, and he continued to try and pick fights with me. I don't know what else to do anymore, whenever I try to talk to him about his alcoholism he claims that he doesn't remember or that I'm making stuff up, and he does the same w/my mom. What's worse is that my mom's enabling him, she lets him take the car to the liquor store when he's clearly already drunk and even buys him drinks if he begs hard enough. There's seemingly nothing else I can do to stop him from drinking, but my body physically cannot take the amount of stress I'm under at home.
