Anonymous asked: I always thought people got divorced in the beginning of their marraiges... Not 25 years down the road when they have 3 daughters and seem perfectly fine together... I'm twenty years old. My mother just told me she's been looking for apartments because she can't deal with my father being an alcoholic anymore... She said she wouldn't have enough money for any of us to live with her and she's going to leave us here... with him... I don't know how to begin to cope with this.....

I’m sorry that you’re in this situation. Sometimes things like this happen, whether young or old, sometimes marriages just fall apart. 

My best advice would be to try to get your father some help, maybe ask him go to treatment.

If that doesn’t work, then I suggest you try to get a job[if you don’t have one] and find your own place, or ask your mother if you can move in with her if you help pay for things. The same for your sisters if they’re old enough for jobs.

Stay strong <3 Things will get better.
