No. Sometimes it's not in his control, but it doesn't make it okay. He can learn other ways to let out his anger but you haven't done anything wrong and don't deserve to experience that. It can be incredibly difficult to do anything about this situation, maybe avoiding him entirely when he's drunk would be safest because that's definitely not okay even though it's not something he's aware of. Make sure to stay safe if there's nothing you can do, and get help if you can. Any form of communication comes with a risk, so please take care of yourself. You deserve only the best

No, this is never okay. When your father isn't drunk, try to ask him about quitting or tell him how he makes you feel when he is drunk. If that doesn't work, seek the help of a professional or close relative who can get him the help he needs.

No! Never. He shouldn't take his anger out on you physically or verbally if he's drunk. He should be clear-headed and know why he'd be angry with you and not be drunk while scolding you. And he should never be abusive.

No not at all. He should not be getting drunk and hurting you. Its not fair. He's the adult here. He should not be doing that

No this is definately not okay. If he does this make him aware of his actions when sober. If it continues removing your self from sittuation if possible is adviseable. Alanon an arm of AA is also great support. Or Alateen if you are a child.

Whether someone is intoxicated or not it is never an excuse to take anger out on another person. If it not acceptable when he is sober it is not acceptable when he drunk either.

No you should advise trying to tell your mother about this or get help from a friend or a professional to help you and your father out

No. It is absolutely NOT okay. It is never okay for someone to take their anger out on someone while sober or drunk. It is crucial to find healthy ways to express anger that doesn't hurt anyone. Take care ♡

Drunk or not - you can never justify the abuse of defenceless innocent children. Don't let anyone tell you that this kind of treatment is okay. You deserve better
