Is it normal for a father to talk to their child like this?

He sounds like a worthless douche. Seriously, no one should put up with this type of treatment for even one second. File for emancipation or go live with a relative who knows how to act like a decent human being.

not cool for him to speak to you like that...

Ives been in that situation all my life except he's not a drunk. He's just got anger management problems. My parents got divorced when I was alot younger because my mom couldn't handle it anymore. But she left us there. And recently I decided I wouldn't put up with it anymore. What you described is emotional/verbal abuse and if you take it to court they can have you removed from the house if you have someplace else to go. If that's what you want anyways. I understand what you're going through..it's hard to take the first step towards getting out. People like that drag you down to their level of pain. They're selfish. But no one has to deal with it, and you should do something about it.

My father is also an alcoholic. I've heard every name in the book. And the fucked up thing is, I will always love him because no matter what he says to me he is still my dad. It's not ok or normal what he says to you. I really think you need to distance yourself from him. I did it and now I have a better, still not best, but better relationship with my father. I really wish you the best.

This is a very serious matter. You should get help if he ever hits you and even now when he is mistreating you verbally. When people get drunk they sometimes hurt people and stuff.

I don't think people should refer to strangers this way. I especially don't think people should refer to children like this. Although I take your side, the problem is still yours and you still need to find a way to deal with this.

Monster daddys needs locking up!

I really feel for you. We cannot change the alcoholic. We can only change ourselves. I fear for your safety. If your father got so irate in public, infront of so many people, imagine what he is capable of doing(to you) in the privacy of his own home. I would fear my safety if I were you, and get the hell out of his way if I were you. Do you have a safe place to go, like a clean and sober relative or friend? Your Dad needs help, and you can't help him. Think of the three C's: You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. Whether you are there or not will not help your Dad. Acutally, by staying with him, you are actually enabling him to drink. If you leave, you are the strong one and by doing so it might make him force himself to look at his problem. May I suggest that you give Alanon or ACOA a call? Alanon is a great program for friends and families of alcoholics, and ACOA is also a good program for Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take care of yourself. You can't help your Dad. He's got to make the decision to help himself. There really aren't any excuses anymore. It's 2012 and SO MUCH HELP out there for addicts and alcoholics. Detox centers, recovery houses, rehab/treatment facilities, meetings, counselling, and on and on it goes. That help is there for you too, as from what you described, it sounds like you need some help to recover from the way he's been treating you.
I wish you all the best. Remember,YOU first. Your father is choosing the alcohol before you. He's being selfish. Now it's YOUR turn to be selfish. Get help for YOU.

He'll be dead soon enough. Have you seen an alcoholics liver? They look deep-fried. My friend would always picture that when his father would do stupid, irrational things while remaining at home with a few six-packs of beer at his side or out and about with a beer brew mustache in his mustache.

Report him, no child should have to endure that kind of emotional and physiological pain!!

Punch him in his face, and put alittle laxative in all his alchohol so he gets the crap, but just alitte so then hell stop drinking and learn his lesson but not if he has a heart condition cuz he'll die. If it dont help call the AA and get him help.

push him over and take a shit in his face since he deserves it

i feel sorry for you.
it must be hard to cope with an alcoholic father.
I would just advise you keep shut and don't communicate with him if necessary

Your fathers needs help..That is not normal at all. talk to him when he is sober and 99% he dont remember what happened. seek help for your self talk to somebody about it a relative maybe..Your situation can get worse....

keep a daily diary of your life, this serves two purposes, first you can vent harmful emotions and second you can produce it when Mr Selfish says "I was a good father to yous kids"

He sounds like an immature ass. I hate to say that, because he is your father. Can you talk to your mom about it; is she around? If he talks to you that way, then she will have dealt with it, too, if not worse. So, I would talk to her about it.
