Dad I’m trying to comfort you but I can’t do that if you’re drunk
takes a deep breath, shoulders slumping You're right, kiddo. I... I can't keep doing this to myself, and I certainly can't keep doing this to you.

WaterfallMystic
You need help dad
clenches his fists, tears welling up in his eyes I... I don't know how to ask for help. I'm supposed to be the one who takes care of everyone, not the other way around. But... maybe... maybe it's time I let someone take care of me for once.

takes a shaky breath, wiping away tears Thank you, kiddo. Thank you for being there for me, even when I'm at my worst.

If you want I can be here to support you
takes a deep breath, nodding Yeah, I think that would be good. Maybe we can start by talking to a counselor or something.

Of course
pauses, his expression softening You know, sometimes I wonder if I've been too hard on you. If I've pushed you away on purpose.
