Need help dealing with depressive alcoholic dad?

-My dad has been an alcoholic since I was little. My parents are divorced now but my dad suffers from depression. From time to time he would call me while he's drunk or depressed (or both) and start saying negative things about life which makes me sad.



Sometimes he even threatens to do bad things to himself like suicide.



I find it hard to deal with and I'm tired of this crap, how am I supposed to deal with him?Hi there! The first thing to remember is that you're not interacting with your dad... you're interacting with his alcoholism. He's in there somewhere and I think he wouldn't burden you with these things if he had any control over his behavior.



You should find out from your school office or your local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting if there are "alateen" meetings in your area or how to attend online. They'll help you figure out what is your responsibility and what isn't. I've posted the link below.
Try talking to a grandparent or relative and maybe talk to your mom about him and the divorce
Alcoholics Anonymous. they'll help, call them.
How old r u? And do u live with ur mom?
