My friend need help

So here is story of my friend, that she told me yesterday...

Honestly, this really isn't any of your business. I really don't think it is your place to tell someone else's father how to live their life. It will only get you into more problems. You could try talking to your friend, and maybe she can talk to her father about it. I just don't think you should go deal with their family situation.

i agree with stopping time i know your very close but you still are not family i say have your friend talk to him... (this could be bad) but my dads a funeral director and he would tell me stories on how being drunk is so bad and what happened to them and literally scared me out of drinking and drugs if you want i can give you my email or skype .... im not at 100 posts so i cant pm (i think) if you wanted to know some or something
but again thats a hairy situation be careful.... best i think you could do is work up your friends courage to talk to him

This is very true, you should stay out of it. You are in no place to try and tell him what to do.

As painful as it may be to have this happen to a friend, it's out of your power.

Exactly what Mike said.

You're only her friend. All you can do is be there for her while she goes through this tough time. This isn't your battle to fight. You can urge them on, give them a gentle push in the right direction but that's all you can do. You can't take the bottles away from him, you can't make him see a counsellor, all you can do is stand by your friend and let her know you're there.

Agreeing with everyone else. As hard as it is to stand by and see a friends life implode like that, there really isn't much you can do to stop it. If he is going to let drinking get between himself and his family, thats his cross to bear. What you can do is be there for your friend through this all. Especially if her mother follows through on the divorce threat. She will need a good friend during these times to support her, so make sure that your shoulders always there to lean on.
