Oh hunni, you are not at all a baby. What you are writing is how you love your family. I am a very bold person when it comes to things like this, so I can tell you what I would do, but I don't know if it will help much. I say you take action in whatever way you feel most comfortable, just don't leave things the way they are.

-Convice your mother to talk to the police and get them to send him to AA.

-Move out for a little while, each of you go and stay with a friend, you, your brothers and your mom. Tell you Dad that you won't come back until he is sober.

-If you are still in school, talk to a counselor and she what she suggests.

Move into the nearest women's shelter for a little while.

-Confront you Dad on the random moment that he is sober.

A lot of people may have this problem but it is not laughing matter and you should really look out for yourself. Your father has a problem and no matter how much you love him you cannot fix it for him. You also can't be in the middle. You have a right to a life where you feel safe. Baby I know this might be a bit harsh on him, but I don't know him so you will have to be the judge. I just see you, a beautiful person suffering because you father can't grow up and that's not right. If you need me baby, please message me anytime.
