writes: I'm living with my boyfriend for the summer because i wanted to be closer to him. His dad is an alcoholic, he drinks a 30 pack a night and on the weekends its double that, and always gets drunk, and when hes drunk, he is not the best person to be around. One night he was getting onto my boyfriend about how he's waking up before noon to help after "doing me" and said that 20 times! "your getting up, i don't care if your doing her or not!" i felt so embarrassed... It was the 4th of July around 6 when all the fireworks start right, his dad decides hey i'm going to put the dog that's deathly afraid of fireworks chained up outside... right as we were going to start, so i lit a little fountain didn't make noise outside the fence and he came out screaming saying how much of a dumb*** decision that was and blah blah blah, and he always makes fun of me,i take a shower everyday and hes like "wow isn't that you 5th shower today?" its annoying, how do I handle this? i love staying with my boyfriend but cant if his dad is like this... how do i handle my boyfriends dad being a drunk?

Has your boyfriend talked to his father about the way he speaks to and treats you?
It it his responsibility to make his girlfriend feel as welcome as possible at his home and his dad really ought to respect his sons girlfriend more.
He's not really setting a good example for a possible future father-in-law...
But if the worst comes to the worst and you're left with no choice then maybe you should stay at his place and just travel into his town for something to do if you get bored in your town.

This is a hard situation for you to be in I totally understand that. It is hard to deal with someone when they are always drunk. But I am afraid if you chose to stay with your boyfriend then you are just going to have to put up with his dads behaviour because I assume that this is his house. If you are both adults and serious about this relationship then maybe you should both start looking at renting out your own accommodation so you both have the space to do as you please.
