okay so my dad is a drug addict.
and everyone yells at my mom and tells her to divorce him and everything,
but what tey dont get is that hes a good guy.
just not when hes on drugs.
i remember one time he ran me and my mom out of the house and we camp back like an hour later and we walked in the door and the lights were off and he had thrown everything all over the floor,he was sitting on the couch and he looked so mean and angry.i was so scared.and when he does dugs it makes me feel like im not good enough for him and he needs drugs to like make him happy or something.i just want him to stop and i tll him that but he never listens and just says whatever.and he already has a brain tumor and a tumor on his hip,but he wont go get them check out.they just keep getting bigger.and i try to stay strong for my mom because she has way more to worry about like paying bills and not having enough money and everything like that.and i know that i shouldnt make it seem like my life is soo bad because theres people who have it way worse.
and i know that.
i guess my question is,
how do i get him to stop?
&&should i be worried about?
what should i do?

i know you want to believe he's an amazing guy but the day can come when drugs take him over and he could do something to hurt you, your mom, or himself.
my best suggestion is to talk to your mom, and tell her your fears.
if she doesnt want to listen then you can go to your counselor at school, or another trusted adult and tell them.
so they can help you get him help, and youself help if you think you want some.
i hope i helped.! [ te3xlyn's advice column | Ask te3xlyn A Question ]
