Two nights a go I screamed in horror as I watched my dad choke my mom and then chase her with a knife. I cant stand this anymore. Alcohol is killing him and he doesn't want to admit it
he needs help but if he doesn't want it I know he won't get better. Im holding on to the last thing I have,hope. So far it hasn't helped. What can I do?

You have some obvious options: i.e. calling the police. This may sound harsh, but sometimes, people need a wake-up call. Standing in front of a judge can sometimes be it. Although it may be hard to see your father in prison, he has done wrong, and it may be the place where he is re-rehabilitated.
You can of course do others things such as refer him to AA or counselling and the such, but if he is in denial, then he won't go, and wont be able to be helped.
So, as hard as it is, I think you should call the authorities. One day, he may go too far and kill someone. Putting him away to get the help he needs is the only way to prevent this.
Good luck. Let me know what you decide on.
