my dad is an alcoholic. : (

he left 3 hours ago saying that he was ONLY going to the “grocery store”. he does this every night! he always goes out to the bar. HE KEEPS LYING TO ME! im so sad right now. i keep telling my dad to stop lying to me because itll only make things worse. my mom left 4 years ago because of his drinking problem and i never saw her again. = [ i dont know what to say to him anymore. i dont know what to do! he comes home and passes out on the couch EVERY NIGHT!! whenever i try to talk to him about it, he yells at me and starts slamming things. he gets REALLY scary when hes drunk. a month ago, he came home and started throwing forks and knives against the walls and stuff. i was scared that they could have hit me! i dont have any family member to call for help when he gets like that. or a close neighbor to run to. my dads really nice when he hasnt been drinking. thats why i dont want to call a “children of alcoholics” hotline.

what should i do?!
