Many of us addicts and alcoholics are stubborn. It's good your dad has become willing to do treatment and receive help. That is a huge hurdle. Dictating to any person how they must recover may be contrary to what is best for that person. I strongly think that your dad must be the one to decide what is best for him otherwise insisting on a my way only will backfire. Just be supportive of him and find an outlet that will help you support yourself. Some outlets are seeing a therapist to process your feelings, going to group support, talking with other families of recovering people.
