im going to be gone ........

[Dakotah]

for a few days. My dad is getting out of jail monday morning so we are going to go pick him up. im excited yet very freaked - im afraid the first thing he is gonna do is go get a drink which he has said he wants. Im getting depressed when i think i should be happy. Lately im debating whether or not i even want to see him out of jail period but then i also think about the fact that i cant give him a hug and talk to him when i want to. I hate crying when dev. is away cause i feel like im a big baby. peeps i need some cheering up

Sorry doll! Youre a sweetheart

Don't feel like a big baby for crying. There is nothing wrong with a good cry.

Go be with him. I know you hate to see what he is doing to himself. However, he is your father. As much as we would like our parents to be perfect, they are not. I'm sure he loves you and we know you love him. He is an adult and will have to learn how to deal with his demons (if he wants to) on his own. You can't do it for him.

So, go be with him and enjoy the happiness that he will feel with him. He may be so overwhelmed with happiness and love from his famliy that he may forget about the drink or he may still want one - I don't know. But everyday is precious and you have a father in your life that loves you, thus, go be with him.

thank you everyone for helping make me think a lil more positive. I hate when my sweetie is away from home for a while cause i always get depressed.

Enjoy the moments you have with him. You never know how long we are for this earth. Keep a positive attitude. Worrying will not make things better. Take everything one step at a time... Its all we can do to get by!
Good Luck!

Hmm..dad out of jail, drinking heavily, chick doesn't even want to see her father. The signs are all there...

I'm guessing Dakotah is a Jew?

Savour every minute you can with your dad, even if he is the way he is.

Hugs and Kisses to you Dakotah.

( you can't be responsible for someone else)

You can help him (somewhat) but you can't change him.

Hoping that all goes well sweetie. I'm sorry that you're hurting.

*hugs*

Nothing some good lesbian porn won't fix.

Lookup "helping alcoholics get sober" on the net. It's a tough road for your dad -- but it can be done. I know many many who have kicked it and sober for years.

the first part is convicing him he has a problem and needs help. the rest is easy... try method after method until one works.
