Well My dad went "out" tonight and hes not back yet and its 1 in the morning and he wont asnwer his cell phone and the side door is making noices.


He has been drinking alot more since my mom left and he drinks all the time and im really scared i can here doors opening and im scared i dont know what to do

feel like im gonna cry im shaking i dont know what to do

Basically toast you dad will be okay, you just have to believe that he will come back. And he will :)

He came back at 2 walked right past me didnt say a word then left again. He is not home now either i don't know where he is but im sick of this i don't want to sit at home waiting to see if hes ok.

It sounds like your dad is going through a hard time, which seems understandable if your mom left. He probably just needs time to sort things out.

My Uncle went through the same thing, after he and his wife split up. Began drinking, going out at all hours of the night (sometimes days) at a time. It was his way of dealing. Not a good way to deal with it, as he had four small children at the time, but people deal with things their own way.

I understand why you worry. When I was a teen, my dad developed the habit of going out after 10pm and then not coming home until after 3 or 4 am. Never turned his cell on or anything. He was just driving around, being bored and all.

But I am sure that your dad will always come back. If worrying starts to get to you too much, try to find something that will distract you for a bit. It doesn't always help, because everytime you hear a sound you will want to look, but it might help a bit.

It bothers me, Aot

I want to tell him cause hes asking whats wrong i just want my dad back and the way he used to be,

when my mom was living with us i begged him to divorce her and now that she is gone i want her back just so my dad will be back to the way he was.

I would talk to him then. Let him know that you worry, and why you are worried. Talking things out might help both him, as well as yourself.

Indeed. Because he can't read minds, so he won't know what to do. Talk to him. And then he'll know.

Yeah, tell him what's bothering you.
Please be sure to tell us how it went.

Please talk to him. Tell him exactly how your feeling, tell him that you were scared.

I agree, try talking to him about it. ;)

Communication is the key to this issue. Talk to him about it.
