Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, my step dad stole over $400 worth of savings from me. He spent it on alcohol, fireworks, and a very large sombrero. FML
Today, my dad has been hitting the bottle, and will only respond to anything I say in a slurred rap. FML
Today, my dad answered his Skype call by insisting he wasn’t giving me any more money. Thing is, I had been about to ask for money, again. I tried to open a shop in the middle of a pandemic, and I’m 4 months late on rent and utilities. I ended the call so he wouldn’t see his grown son crying. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I met my biological father for the first time. He seemed to be slightly intoxicated from the outset, and less than half an hour later, he had tried to intimidate me into "loaning" him several hundred euros for reasons he wouldn't tell me. So long, "dad". FML
Today, my dad called for the first time in six months. He needs someone to bail him out of jail. FML
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML

I think it's time to cut your dad off.

Never loan money, especially to family

It depends on how you define medication. Tequila could be medication, right? ;)

Should of took the bottle and smashed it

First off I believe you meant "should have taken" and second, why waste perfectly good alcohol like that?

Funny thing, tequila causes more problems for me rather than fixing them.

Tequila is the best medicine!

Sounds like your dad needs a hug. Not a self loathing child upset about losing a $20.

Who said she was sad about losing it? Did you ever think that maybe she's upset because her own dad scammed her out of her money for an addiction?

Well it is good medicine. And thanks to Obama it probably works good and is cheap.

Good thing OP is in the United Kingdom! OP: Perhaps you might ask your dad to share a bit with you, then have a heart-to-heart with him while he's relaxed from it. Accusing him of being a lush or the like usually gets folks on the defense and they can become combative. Good luck!

So he did buy medication

Hey, maybe he meant "Adult medicine".

I mean, just because you can get disability benefits for alcoholism (because it is seen as a disease) doesn't, in any way, make alcohol medicine. Ya know, the opposite. OP, your dad needs help.
