My father drinks anywhere from 4-9, 8% alcohol drinks a day. He had hurt his back a long time ago in a past job and it is how he 'deals with the pain'. He promised me a long time ago that he would stop drinking, but he didn't. At times, usually in the lower tiers, he is fine and somewhat funny. Once he drinks quite a bit though, he gets very mean. He blames my mother for tearing our family apart when his drinking is the problem in my eyes. I want to forgive him, and every time I do, he starts back in with more drinking the next day. He blames my mother for not being truthful, and not listening to God, while he goes and drinks. Any help on forgiveness, or what to tell him to make him stop drinking?
