writes: my dad is in and out of rehab and he is always heavily dosed on medication. He has done some bad things in the past like hit my sister spend all our money on drugs. He has many mental illneses and when i was younger ,the doctors say he is officaly unstable, and if my mum signed he would be put into a mental ward full time against his will. My mum always said be was a terrible person but i cant help after all he has done to want to see him all the time and visit him in his flat. But i feel as if he may 'go mad' again and im not sure if i should disconnect myself from him as my sister and mom have. But i still care for him. But he always hurts me?

He is your father honey, and no mistake he makes can change that. Hating him won't change the past, and neither will it help him right now.

 you need to do what you want to do. Nobody can make that desicion for you.
You say your dad is in and out of rehab maybe if you tried sitting down and talking to him would this help?? Talk about how much you love him and how you feel he is slipping through your fingers because you are scared of loosing him to the things he does...
As for your mum and sister it was their own decision to disconnect themselves from your dad and if you don't think this is what you want to do then don't do it.
If you feel unsafe going round there by yourself get help from a local social worker they maybe able to do supervised visits with him to prevent amy harm coming to you..
This is something you really need to think through.. Do you really want too loose your dad forever??????
Let me know how things go!!
