Your dad is lucky to have family who care for him so much.
I agree with the other's that you can't control your dad though, not that you are trying to do that, but you can only make his world less stressful to a certain extent; most of the choices will be his own.
I hope that you have someone else that you can talk to and lean on at times. I counsel with my pastor. It really helps to have someone outside the family to talk to who can offer help, hope and encouragement, and an objective viewpoint as well.
You are so young; I hope you can stay away from all that junk like meth and alcohol and learn from your dad's mistakes. It's hard to learn from the mistakes of others. I've never been good at doing it myself! I always seem to have to learn things the hard way.
I wish I knew what to say and had more time to type right now. Gotta get to my son's soccer game.
Thinking and praying for you Z.
