Hi,
I am wanting some advice on how to deal with living with someone with an alcohol problem? My father retired from work about 5 or 6 years ago due to alcohol related health problems. Ever since he retired things have been much worse, he usually goes on a 4 or 5 day bender where he starts drinking at 6am.
He has always had a drinking problem but over the last few years, he had become a nasty drunk who likes to torment my mum.
I am currently studying so can not move out, and I don’t think I could leave my mum anyway, so I’m just looking for any helpful tips on ways to help with living with an alcoholic? Or ways to disengage and not react when he’s drunk?
Thank you

Al Anon are a good service to take a look at if you are wanting to learn ways to live alongside an Alcoholic. Totally recommend their programme.
Best wishes.
