I thought a good wise crack was needed there.
Didn't mean to poo-poo on your day. I will Microwave myself. Besides, isn't a counselor or someone more qualified to handle this kind of question? The wrong advice may end up making the whole situation worse.
Especially advice from a 13, 15, or 16 year old.

Ok, i figured as much. But i didnt think this was one of those topics that could have a wise crack... So you're forgiven. I apologize for saying stick your hand in a mircowave. Now i feel like an asshole...
But she does need someone qualified, but shes looking for guidance. And although im 16 years old, im wiser than adults who dont know me give me credit for. Ive gone through alot in my 16 years, more than kids my age have. So i would appreciate a bit more credit...

What kind of a sick joke is that? Was it supposed to lighten the mood? It really didn't, so don't joke around with that stuff.
The 13, 15, and 16 years olds in this site gave perfectly good advice. And they actually CARE. At least they had the decency not to make such a tasteless joke on a thread like this.

I am not a teenager and my advice is based on experience. The problem on this board is that people feel the need to post even if they have nothing to say. There are endless threads on the board where everyone can post their "OMG I have no idea" posts - it would have been polite to leave this thread alone and not make the topic starter feel bad about posting her worries.

I've known for the past three years that my dad has a drink problem. Apparently it's been like this since I was a baby but I first became aware of it when I was eleven. At first I thought the best thing to do would be to stay out of it, but in the past year in particular it's become very bad. He's promised more times than I can count to get help, and he even tried going to a meeting before, but in the past year he seems to have decided he hasn't got a problem and has even started blaming the rest of us for it. I never told anyone in school about it. I haven't been able to concentrate on my school work in the past few months and my grades have slipped a bit. I've been kept awake at night listening to rows between my parents. I went to see the school guidance counsellor every week, sometimes even twice a week, and I thought things were going to change when she talked to my mum. My dad was made aware of everything, said he hadn't realised how bad he had made me feel and promised again to get help. But now it's worse than before. Every time I look at him he seems to be so drunk that he can barely stand. He refuses to even talk about it now.
Sorry for rambling a bit, but I just needed to let that out. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.[/QUOTE]
Im sorry to hear that, Im not much of an expert, but I've seen interventions that work, maybe you could talk with your family about and it, and it may work
I'll pray for you, I hope your situation gets better, really.
I know it is hard.
I added you to my contacts in case you need to talk.

You've made a really good point, Barbara.
You've made a really good point, Barbara.
Thank you all so much for your advice, I'm really grateful. What you said about how there's nothing else I can do and the rest is up to my dad, I think you're right. I guess nothing gets sorted until he makes the decision to help himself. Thanks Sasha for the links you posted.
Thanks everyone again. You're all great.
Sarah
Thanks everyone again. You're all great.
