socks 32,253 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Fukc me he is only drinking one bottle of wine a night hardly an alcoholic ... Sounds more like he is a selfish spiteful fukcer that resents spending money on his own flesh and blood ... Get your sister to ask him to do some quality stuff with her see if that brings the bond closer ........ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 alcohol is a strong depressant some can go to work and lead what seem normal lives but behind closed doors they need that drink others need to drink whilst there awake and can become some what a joke but none will stop unless they want to and things like losing a job or a love one can and does trigger it of some say its a gene some disagree but most always have someone else to blame like a child or a partner for something going wrong in there lifes and like any drug every day is a fight because once a addict always a addict i hope you get sorted dare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04fox8 168 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 No mention of how long this has actually been going on for.. Given his job, is it possible he's seen some bad sh*t and 'tied it in' to his own family some how?? Bottle of wine a night doesn't seem tooo bad, it's not un common to hear of people consuming that amount. On the other hand, the bottle of wine is maybe all you are seeing. Maybe he has more en-route home / lunch time etc? Sounds like 'something' is gnawing at him. Good luck with the situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just wondering am I the one thinking wrong here before I open my mouth and say something. Months ago my little sister got invited to go on holiday with her best mate. My old man loves a holiday and first thing out of his mouth was. "I don't see why she gets an holiday if we're not having one". I thought that was abit of a jealous remark n most would be happy for their kid to be having a good time no? Well he defiantly wasnt because he didnt give a single penny towards her flight or spending money, left it all down to my mum who works part time. Saturday my mum went out after work with her mates for her bday and stayed at my aunts house. Early Saturday morning could hear my dad swearing. Noticed he hadn't his daily bottle of wine lol put 2 n 2 together. Anyway my phone contracts in his name never bothered to change it from when I left school. Bill comes in and I pay it no problems never once not paid. Moans I've gone over by 50 quid. Moaned in such a way I thought I won't offer it now because I know his skint and that's why his pissed off. Anyway say to my sister come with me to get a kebab as I don't leave the dog outside and ill buy her one. Dad comes out with I'd love a kebab, so thought right give him the 50 quid. He then says hell order it, goes to my sister what do you want. She said a kebab and on the phone to the bloke he goes make her small kebab jus half of that lol she pipes up ill eat a whole one. Snaps at her you won't f*****g eat that much lol. Tight c**t didnt even wanna spend a fiver when I know his got 50 quid in his pocket. Will every day after work his brought a bottle of wine this week each costing a tenner. Won't spend a fiver on feeding his own daughter but got money for wine every night. c**t or not? Before I tell him about his ways. im anzwering before i read any replies. ypur dad sounds like he has a problem mate maybe try sitting down and having a good talk? i lost my dad when i was 23, he was 52. and id give anything to be able to hav a chat again.. just some observations sounds like he is worried about money? if your phone bill comes out of his account, then by rights, legally and MORALLY you should pay him. kebab for tea? for a kid? (you say little sister, i assume she just a young un) when i was a kid i didnt know what a kebab was if your phond bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 12,670 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 2 glasses of wine is a bottle? Not a great deal but even still it all adds up. Uncle died 3 month ago over the drink liver scrosis << wrong spelling lol. He was doing bottle voddy everyday and watched a 6 ft 5 18 stone man turn into a frail skinny man with body turned yellow left 9 year old and 20 year old and wife behind daughter just had baby 1 day before he passed away held the baby and then told me he was ready to go now. Not nice atall. Help your old fella out spend.some time because.oneday it be too late atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Rabbit hunter I do pay my phone bill never once not paid on time. I've paid before its owed because his needed the money being skint. He wasnt too bothered about the phone bill it was the fact he had no money to buy a drink. 1 bottle of wine is at least what he drinks. If he has the money it'll be 2 bottles of win and a 2/3 cans of special brew. Trust me smelling that stuff is enough to put anyone of drinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RemyBolt 420 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Kev1987 has a good point. Spend as much time with him as you can. Maybe even consider a little shock tactics "Dad, I want to spend time with you now, because if you drink how you are, you'll be dead soon. And I want to get to know you properly before you drink yourself away." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
