Dad is emotionally abusive and manipulative.

He has anger issues and would lash at me verbally which causes distress and it doesn't help because he's a heavy drinker and I suffer from depression.
I've told him to 'STOP' a many but continues.
He sees me as his slave and expects me to carry house duties because I'm at home most of the time, when I'm not fit.

I've reported him to the cops and will have a word with me and him.

I hope you can get your father the help he needs. Do you have anyone you can speak to or lean on to support you during this?

No support, I've been asked but declined. The police should be enough.

How come you've said no to support?
