AA.
And it sounds like you need some counseling, too.
Has your dad tried AA? your area may have something call Al-Anon for families of alcoholics or Ala- Teen for teens who have alcoholic family members. Encourage your mom to join you to get help.
This link will help you find where there are support groups in your area.

your dad is an adult and if by now he hasnt addressed his alcoholism issue dont take that burden on personally especially if you are a younger person, my mum and dad still bicker and fight all the time, my dad is an alcoholic, my mum knows it, she stays in a miserable relationship, neither of them are happy and its been going on for decades… im grown up now and no longer live in their “drama” and this type of thing is THEIR problem, not yours.
All you need to do is focus on yourself and getting your needs met, find things to do to keep you out of the house, are you too young to get a job and move out? maybe going to university would be a good “out” for you.
Definately seek your own counselling or therapy through a REPUTABLE source and take guidance from there.
Dont beat yourself up cos you cant change people just make sure you make positive change and developement within yourself.
All the Best!
If you are underage, there isn’t much you can do except to talk to a counselor or your doctor (ask for a referral to a therapist). You can’t make your father do anything or change his mind about drinking. He is doing it for a reason….there is always a reason why and it’s different for everyone and very hard to break. You can also call the police if he abuses you or your mother.
But, leaving the house or getting a restraining order or separation from him is something you mother has to do. She has to be strong and want to do it.
Sometimes, you can only save yourself. I think that is the hardest thing of all.
when he drinking and fighting with your mother call 911 they will take him to jail you can call the court or when he has to go to court you can asked the judge order him to get into a alcoholic program if he wont do that then put his thing out and get a order from the court that he can come with in 50 ft of your home ,work school, your mother need to file for a divorce if he don’t want to change
do you go to church some time they have program to good like I know what you and your mother going through you help your mom get out of this relationship with your father okay good luck
maybe you should call child protective services
well every family has their issues that may cause stress. how ever being an alcoholic is no excuse.you can most likely check your local phone book or google it online where they may have AA meetings. or check for a counseling hot line should be listed in the phone book it may be listed in the local government pages. good luck I hope you can find the help you need I will pray for you and your mom I know it will be hard but try to stay strong cause living with an alcoholic is no fun. I hope your dad will realize how much he is hurting you and your mom and hope he seeks help for his problem. If things get really bad you and your mom should just leave and not return until he seeks the help he needs sometimes it will take something so drastic for an alcoholic to realize they are hurting the people they love most
Hi, You cannot change an addict or make them do anything! Not until they see the need to change. You can, however, sit both you parents down and let them know how their behavior makes you feel and how it affects you. Please check these site out….you are not alone!
