I'm not going to return my alcoholic dad's phone calls
Is this related to his drinking?
I think his drinking is his own business and I want nothing to do with him anymore.
I understand that having an alcoholic in the family can be difficult to deal with, but it's disrespectful to just totally ignore his phone calls like that. You should at least shoot him a text back or something.
Ok I'll be honest, I'm doing it for other reasons unrelated to his drinking. I'm just pretending like its due to his drinking because it's easier to blame that.
Even if your ignoring your dad has nothing to do with his drinking, it still isn't right for you to not talk to him as it is rude to him. Vow to mend the fences with your dad and give him a ring.
