Long story short – My father has been an alcoholic my whole life.A really really bad alcoholic. My mom left him when I was around 3 or 4 because she just couldn’t take the drinking. Since then hes tried really hard to be a good father to me, but the drinking just ruined him for so many years. He lost his house, lost his job, and had to move back in with my grandmother. We’ve gotten a little bit closer since I’ve gotten older, but we still don’t talk much about to many personal things. Anyways, I work in a drug/rehab center. I had a man tonight almost die in my arms (literally) with drawling from alcohol. As soon as he stopped breathing all I could think about & see in him was my father. I’ve been a wreck ever since, I broke down in tears at work and everything. How do I tell him that this could be him and that I need him in my life and I want him to be there to walk me down the aisle one day when I get married and be there for the birth of my babies, we’re not close like that so I don’t know what to say or how to say it. I have never once in my life talked to him about his drinking. Any advice for someone who’s been through something like this? I would really appriciate it. Thank you
