How do you tell you parent you want to leave ?

My dad is a alcoholic and he can be wicked mean sometimes . I feel bad but I want to move out , It's diffucult living with a alcoholic parent.Also I would be better off living else where with a family member. I Just don't know how to tell him. I mean i wont be shuttign him off from my life,no way. But I need to be in a place there is no drinking.


My dad is a nice man ,but has issues.I love him to death but drinking is the life he chose, not me.I wanna get out and finish High School and go to College, but its harder when your looking after your parent all the timeHow do you tell you parent you want to leave ?
Be upfront to you're father when he is sober and tell him you do not want to live under the same roof with him drinking any longer.





May be just what he needs to reconsider what he is doing to himself and the ones he lives with. Then, maybe not.





They have to hit rock bottom if they are ever to come back up, if they do.How do you tell you parent you want to leave ?
first contact potential family members to stay with and find out for certain that you have a place to stay. The choice your making is a very responsible one. Later tell your father what the circumstances are, if he gets one more chance or not. Most importantly, stay committed to yourself. Don't back out on your decision.
Tell your dad that he has made his choice (drinking) and now you are going to make yours - school and college. If your dad really loves and wants the best for you, he will let you go with a relative and do what's best for you. It doesn't mean you don't love him if you leave, you just deserve a more stable life. Good Luck and Congrats on your decision to finish school and go to college!!!!!
Will he listen if you tell him you want to stay out with (relative) and study real hard to go College? But promise to come home to see him as often as your time permits.
You need to sit down with your father when he's sober and let him know you got to go. Tell your dad you can not live in the house anymore if he's going to treat alcohol like it's the most important aspect of his life. Also tell him you is his son and you deserve a better environment and a sober dad. Make sure you tell your dad you love him very much and he will always be in your heart.Next ask your father do he love you too, if he say yes then tell him to let you go. You should never suppress your feelings from anyone because it will end up hurting you the most. If you just tell him the truth, you will feel alot better!!!!
First of all good for you. You have a great perspective on life at your age. Find the family member first and enlist their help. Make sure your the first person to bring this up to him though, not anyone else. Just say what your saying here. That you love him but the situation here is too hard. You don't have to bring up your looking after him but tell him things are a bit too chaotic and that you worried it's going to effect your school. Try to make a set plan to spend time with him and at his home. He'll definitely be hurt but if he's a good dad (and other than the alcohol it sounds like he is) he'll want you to be happy and to help you get where you want to be in life. Good luck!!!
