DADS!!! Please answer!?

Question by Morgan: DADS!!! Please answer!?
I have a Dad….well….kinda….my dad is an alcoholic with anger control issues. He is always trying to retaliate at me…only, I can’t figure out what I’ve done to be retaliated at. He is only happy with me if I am totally dependent on him and he can “help” me….like if I am sick, he is in an especially good mood, but once I’m well enough to be independent, we are like strangers until the next time he is angry. He tells me he loves me, but I don’t think he means it because of the way he acts around me when he’s not wanting something. I feel used and alone…all I want is a Dad who will show me what a Dad is supposed to be…today my friends told me (they work at the local store) that he really creeps them out, too….

Dads….would you ever do this to your kids? And also…how do you feel about them, do you love them? What do you think of my Dad? What should a Dad be like?

PS..I know I just asked a question….thanks for bearing with me!! Godbless!

WOW …. It sounds like someone really needs to sit down and have a talk with him and get him into AA or a really good dry out clinic.
There isnt anything you have did wrong so dont even think it is you.
I may not be a dad but i am married to an alcoholic and thank god he went and got the help he needed. Been sober for over a year.
But i know as much as you may hate him at times he is still your dad. Your dad is a sick man. And i know as hard as it is on you that this may not make any sence but believe me i know this all too well.
Maybe one of his family members or your mom is she is still around can talk to him. He might just need someone to help him open his eyes.
But if your dad ever gets the help he needs you will find out who he really is. While he is this way you will never understand him or ever get to know him.
