My father gets drunk and keeps us out until dawn?
Once or twice a week, usually on the weekend, my father tells us to get ready to go out to one of his friend's parties.
Within a few hours, several people at the party are wasted. My father himself gets completely drunk and refuses to go home, and my mother has had to take the keys and leave him quite a few times. My sister and I usually sleep in some nook or cranny, or in the car, because we tend to stay at the party past 4 am.
Half of the time, he has them come to our place. Same situation, but I lock my little sister in my room with me and share the bed with her after 10pm. The place is usually a mess, and my mother and I have to clean it, because my father is hungover and in bed.
Don't get me wrong, he's not irresponsible when it comes to financially caring for us. We're well off in most ways, and there is always food on the table. He's never physically abused any of us at all, but calls me and my mother bitches or assholes when he's upset.
I've had panic attacks since I was eleven (for two years), but I highly doubt it is related to this. I'm personally fine, but I'm concerned for my sister and mother. My sister is barely six, and I get worried that she might get into some sort of trouble.
As for my mother, she seems to be high-functioning depressed. I certainly don't blame her. Her stepfather was an abusive alcholic, and it must be really terrible to see her spouse drunken and pissed. My father tends to sit around watching anime once he gets home from work, and she and I have to do everything in the house.
I must know: Am I making a big deal over nothing, or is something wrong?
