My Dad Does Drugs…? What Do I Do?

Question by kelssssey: my dad does drugs…? what do i do?
my mom told me that my dad is addicted to crack and has been for 10 years now. she told me he would leave the house and never come back for 3 days almost. he locked himself in the house and did it. we would always have to go find my dad in albany crack houses when i was little (like 5) and shes telling me this while im 15. she said she would stay up and look out the window and cry all nught about it when he left.. and he never even came back when she watched. she said he was so terrible and i dont know if i should be sad about it or what? i am really upset and its scary when i think about it. she thought he stopped but ive read his texts(ik im sneaky… :/) and he gets messages from dealers(i can tell)

Confront your dad. Tell him you know. And how much its tearing your family apart, if he doesn’t give in. Beg. Tell him to go get hep, and that you will help him every step of the way. Say that you love him, and about the thing with you mom. Look up a bunch of helpful info about people who have quit. Maybe you could call them up to come and see your dad. To talk to you him. If that doesn’t work, then i know you will hate to do this but, warn him that you will turn him in, only for the best. No luck then, then do what you said and turn him in. Hope this helps. You will be in my prays.
