over the past 3 and a half years my dad has had no respect for anyone but himself, he left my mum on her birthday, left me and my sister with no warning what so ever no bye's or anything like that, after maybe 4 months of him splitting up with mum my nan and grandad kept in touch with him, he had turned alcoholic suicidal depression he suffers from bi-polar still to this day, after maybe a year of him leaving my mum he got in touch saying that he had gone bankrupt he was lost didnt know what to do and given up in life, (i think it was for attention) so i spoke to my mum asking if we could go see him, at this time he had moved to the north of where we lived so it was a long drive to get there. we talked a little but you could see into him and see he wasnt happy see that alcohol had taken over his life and there was nothing we could do to help him, he wouldnt help himself one little bit, that night we went home and my nan recieved a phone call saying that he had overdosed on paracetamol and his depression tablets, the paracetamol and alcohol by this time really knackered up his liver big time, maybe around 6 months later he decide to come back down to where his parents used to live he carried on with the alcohol, turned really violent started drink driving had a fine of over 500 pound for drink driving and also got a abh and gbh warning, this really upset me and my sister to the point i got suicidal after turning around to my dad and saying something along the lines of 'stay out of my life until you get yoursel clean of alcohol and start work again' this made me turned to drugs behind my sister and my mum's back due to the fact that i tolf my dad to walk from my life and never show again as i didn't think he would stop the alcohol and get a job, after maye 2 weeks later we received a letter saying we was going to be evicted from the current house we was in, at the time my mum was a student nurse so there was no way she could even keep up the payments any more as they kept pushing the monthly bill until it reached out to around the 1000 pound mark, so at that point i was in distress gave up on school gave up on life, the day before the eviction i dried to commit, it failed after my mum walked in on me with a bed sheet around my neck tied from my attic window, my mum seeked out that i needed counciling ect ect, so we had moved out and into a new house that i got stuck into renevating it changing the doors and the bathroom ect [ my dad was a plumber so i took in what he did before he left] aboutmaybe a month of living in this new house it was complete everything looked well, and then my mum got a new boyfriend who hated me with a passion, he used to treat me with no respect whatsoever till it got to the point he started getting confident around me, and so then he started to threaten me, push me around, make me clean his mess up around the house such as move plates from the room and everthing else, maybe 2-3 weeks after that he did the same with my sister, then he stopped doing it, things got really quiet and then his attitute got worse, he started drinking, till it got to the point he would hit me, my mum never knew anything untill he thought she was asleep upstairs and he started to hit me in my ribs and i coughed and it woke my mum up, as she came down stairs he tried to hide he was doing it so i jumped on his back so he would retaliate and him me so my mum would see and he wouldnt be around the house anymore... he was booted out of the house and never tried to come back, when my mum told my dad about the situation my dad didnt care, the text my mum recieved was 'he isnt my son anyway, he deserves a good beating i regret not doing it when i was with you' so i completely gave way again, gave up on life never went to school up until i had to go in for exams, which i did and i got good grades considering i never really went back to the part with my dad though. right now my dad has really done it this time, i have walked from him, i tried my best with him, he never did a thing or me, would never lend me anything if i needed it or anything, he stopped drinking to see his daughter, the condition was that if he never drank again he would be able to see his daughter [this was decided through court] it was my birthday yesterday and he said he would get my provisional for my present so on my birthday he went out with his friends, never got a text saying happy birthday or anything, so i was sat with my nan and grandad just talking with them and my dad strolled in and said 'happy birthday mate' as i replied 'okay' he said he would take me for my provisional after he had food and ofcourse he didnt he never turned up or anything, i recieved a text sayingg we will go tomorrow too late now about 2 hours after he was meant to pick me up, so today at about half 9 am i had to make my way to his mums house where he lives so i can get my photo for my licence, he got the photos for me and dropped me off at hame and said 'you can do the rest' and so my mum has stepped in and argued with my so called dad to what he keeps saying is 'he is 17 i shouldnt have to do everything for him' - 'i had a job at his age' currently right now he got the sack for turning in drunk, he has become nothing but an obsessive lier i rang him maybe about an hour ago saying, 'can you take me to the dvla for my provisional then' to what he replied 'i cant im sat in the pub' so right now i've completely given up on him, i havnt had a penny off him for the past 3 Christmas or birthdays, he is still sat in the pub now doing nothing but drink with the money that was supposedly for my prrovisional, also i forgot that he makes up excuses like 'i have no money or fuel' if i ever want a lift, but he will take his friends about 200 miles away from where he lives, do i do right on giving up on him throwing him out of my life or not? im just sick and tired of having to do everything for him, i always make the effort to see him and so does my sister who is 3 years younger than me... i really need help on what to do and i want to do it for the best of my life as i need to stick to a job....
