Hi Sunshine, and welcome to the forum. It's great to meet another local here. I grew up just north of San Jose, and still go home every year or so to visit family.
It sounds like you're living under an amazing amount of stress. Alcoholism eats through a families finances like termites do wood. I can see why you wouldn't want to take on this burden.
You didn't mention your parents ages. Are they elderly, or are they still young enough to get out and get a decent job? The language issue can't be that big of a deal if your father was able to get that first job.
