We might have to move. Because we might lose the house.
My dad has a gambling addition that no one does anything about. That and a smoking addiction. My brother owns our house and we need like $8000 in a week or we need to sale our house. If my dad paid like $300 a month to my brother this would be fine. So stop smoking and he'd be good to go basically.
But NO. He has to smoke even though I could end up on the street with mom. He has some where to go. We don't. He smokes even though I have asthma and can't breath. I end up on the floor coughing at times due to it. Hes all "Take some cough syrup.".
My mom says nothing. I don't know what to do. I can't speak up against him,I'm the child hes and adult. Parents have the right to spank a child anyways for backtalk and sass.
He goes gambling EVERY week with his boss,Dave. I'm tired of it too. I see my dad 3-4 days a week usually. We walk around on egg shells constantly. I'm afraid to talk to him usually. I don't even usually eat in the same room as him. I come in to the computer desk and eat in silence. That or I don't eat.
He also makes smartallec remarks to us. He called me fat before. He tells me to shut up and that I don't know things a lot of the time or I don't understand. Also he tells me what happens in the family isn't any of my business because I'm just a child.
I just wish he'd leave and not come back one day some times. I know it sounds bad but,hey how else am I going to live?

That's absolutely disgusting. From what I hear, he is not a good father.
If you do lose the house, can't you and your mom go to a grandparents house or a relative?

I don't know what they could do to be honest.

O__O
I would say tell him to f*ck off, but he isn't my dad, and I wouldn't want you getting into trouble.
O__O
And I wouldn't tell you to suck it up, cause that would be rude.
What I can tell you is to try and stand up for yourself, even if it's not that much. And you could like go around and talk to people about the home thing, cause I'm sure someone would do something to help you and your mom out and things.
