<p>Hi so im just here to rant about my dad. My dad has gotten drunk about 5 times around my family. Each time i was always left crying. Everytime I hear yelling/screams i get nervous like my hears starts beating fast and my hands start shaking. Idk if its just anxiety but still it doesnt help. Anyways when my dad is sober he is the sweetest kindest dad I could ever ask for but when hes drunk im terrified. Now he hasnt gotten drunk drunk recently but everytime he has a beer bottle (which is every day basically) i cant help but count how much beer hes drinking or worrying about him getting drunk. My dad has told me many times that he'll just drink 3 beer bottles but i know its just a lie. He also has told me that if I ask him how much beer hes drinking he'll tell me the truth. I just cant ask him because i dont want to ruin the mood or annoy him. Another thing is that my dad doesnt apologize to me when he gets drunk for breaking his promise. I dont want to talk to him about it cause i dont want to make him feel bad. I feel guilty for counting how much beer hes been drinking because he hasnt been drunk recently tho. Im 12 btw but Feel free to give me some advice :)</p>

<p>Having open communication with dad might be beneficial but only when he’s sober. Maybe you should try to write him a letter and let him know how you really feel about his drinking. This can help you say what you want without being interrupted or feeling guilty and saying it to his face. Hopefully this can help. I understand what you’re going through I went through it at the same age as you. I’m 32 years old now stay strong 💪🏻 </p>
