I need advice on how best to handle my situation. On Saturday night my father who had been drinking all day stormed out of my house over something so very small and trivial. He left his suitcase, his medication, and all the things that he was supposed to haul back home. He made an 8 Hour Drive home and would not answer our phone calls. Luckily my mom could track him in her phone so we knew where he was going. He still won’t respond to moms calls or messages. He has texted me back in a civil manner but isn’t really to talk about what happened. I don’t want to push him away but my kids will never witness anything like that ever again. My mom doesn’t want me to say anything because she’s worried I will upset him and make him mad. She enables him and probably doesn’t have the healthiest relationship with alcohol herself. For background reference, dad has had a problem with alcohol ever since I can remember, but my brother tragically passed away a year and a half ago and has gotten so much worse since then! Neither of my parents have dealt with her grief properly. I need advice on how to handle this and bring my family back together! My therapist can’t get me in until next Tuesday and the al-anon groups aren’t meeting at the moment.
