ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION Add comments
I am 15 and my dad is dying of alcoholism. He is only in his late 40′s. He won’t even live to see me graduate highschool. Im crying as we speak. My dad is my best friend. I don’t know what to do. I want to show him that i really love him and care about him but can’t do it in words. I’ll cry to much and choke up and nothing will come out. So can you give me some ways to show him.

A nice card you can write in. Tell him how much you love him . Pray with him. I am sorry you have to go through this.
i think that if you do tell him in word and cry and choke up thats when he knows you really care because anything else might seem to fake. and by you crying and showing him affection he would really know that you love him. if you feel like your not able to do that right him a letter about how you feel and dont hold back anything.
Sorry to hear that and Good Luck!
i’m very sorry to hear this :[ i’ve recently had to deal with a death in my family and i know how hard it is. but really the best way to show him is to spend as much time by his side as you can and even though you said you cant tell him… you need to. i wish i had the opportunity to go back and tell everyone who i know that has passed how much i love them…its hard but you’ll regret it forever if you don’t tell him
First you need to take care of your own feelings in order to be any good to him. Get some professional counseling even if it comes in the form of an al-anon meeting…or talk to your pastor or another adult you can trust. That will help him the most – and yourself at the same time. Good Luck.
* hug him alot give him kisses on the check
*tell him you love him every time you leave the house
*cook him breakfast
*ask him to watch a movie with him
*and when you can try to sit down and let him know how much you care..if you cant talk to him then write or type a letter up
good luck and keep your head up things will be okay. god bless u!!!
just be with him, talk with him, laugh with him. spend as much time as you can with him. oh and you could write him a letter, and tell him that you really love him, that hes your best friend. you don’t have don’t have to hand it to him yourself, just leave it somewhere he can find it. like his pillow.
Buy him a coffin.
Just by being near him, helping him out, preparing meals for him, sitting with him, talking to him….that is all you have to do. Tell him you love him. It’s the simple everyday things that people miss the most. You can do those things for him.
I am so sorry to hear your situation. My father was also an alcoholic but fortunately received rehabilitation. Its really hard to actually “show” someone you love them. One way you can show your father that you love him is telling him that you do love him and that you do not know how to show it besides in words. He will understand what you are saying. Also, like everyone else is saying, spend as much time with him that you can. Talk to him about anything, go to the movies, etc. I hope everything works out for you!
Honey, I am truly sorry to hear about the current plight of your father. It reminds me so much of my grandfather, who was a very heavy drinker, and passed away 15 years ago when he was 59 years old. I really don’t know if there’s anything that anyone can say to comfort you right now, but I do understand and that there are thousands of young people just like yourself who are going through the same struggles of having an alcoholic in the family. It is a genetic condition, and it’s not anybody’s fault; rather, it just is.
Perhaps you can make a collage of photographs of the happy times that you shared with your father, in spite of the challenges of the many problems that may have existed in the past. You could divide the pictures into groups, find poems from poetry books, and paste them next to the groups of pictures. That sounds like a good way to show him that you care.
All the best.
hiya, why don’t you write him a letter,telling him how sad you are and how much you love him,and you don’t want him to die.write every think in your heart,that you want him to know.give him the letter when he is sober,and not started drinking yet.in the morning i would think.let him read the letter on his own ,it might just make him come to his senses and get help with his drinking.you never know.at least he will know you love him,and it will clear your heart of things you want to say to him.xxx
