I hear your pain, my fathers an alcoholic and unlike yourself, we had a few phsical exchanges. One time he actually said he wanted to hit me, I pointed at my chin to taunt him, and he belted me. Got on top and continued to pound away. I magaged to get out from under him, get a few shots of my own in and left home for good, bloodied and beaten, miles away from town, no car. I slept in a deserted house that night.

 

Most of my childhood memories are of opening beer, taking away empties and stacking the cases in the shed. The older I get, the less I care about my dad and now I might talk to him two to three times per year. I have no respect for him whatsoever. I have also faught my own battle with alcohol, not drinking daily, just not knowing my limit when I do drink. I've overcome my alcohol problems and rarely drink now, if I do, I drink very little.

 

Sorry to ramble, I actually have no advice to give you and no words to give you comfort. Just maybe some security in the knowledge that you will turn out allright if you want to.
