writes: Hey guys. I honestly dont know where to start, so i'll just go for it. My father drinks about 6-7 cans of lager every night. I'm kind of over that now though, it's just what he does. But 3 days ago his 20something friends came over (my dads 41) and they suggested drinking games etc to him, and he wants to keep up with them so he agreed and since then, his friends didnt leave the house until just now. They havent bought any alcohol, my dad did. He must've spent at least £100. And the thing is, i know he didnt have that sort of money in the bank. I'm so angry at him. I came home this morning and the house was a mess. Ash run into the carpet, alcohol spilt on the rug, it's such a mess. And everytime i come home to find this (which is a lot) i'm always left cleaning it up, and checking to see he hasnt chocked and is still breathing. It's not something a 17year old should have to do :(Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks for reading x

Hun, you need to contact Al Anon and ask them if they have groups for families affected by alcohol. You wont be able to stop your dad drinking, only he can do that, but perhaps you can learn to cope better until you can leave and live on your own.Honeygirl

Hi.. I really don't have a answer for you, and maybe its not something you want to read. I feel for you and I think maybe you should phone child help line or something like that they are sure to help. You are a strong person and you will make it out on top.. Just believe in the old man and be there for him. Speak to close family or a close friend... Good luck xxx
