<human>: My dad always had a tendency to drink a little more than he should. A beer after work, a beer along with dinner, and a couple of beers during the evening. The result was usually the same: he ended up falling asleep in front of the computer, and I would have to wake him up before I went to bed.

My mom talked with him about his drinking habits, and he tried to end them multiple times, but were never succesful. About one and a half years ago, my mom divorced him.

He moved out to a bigger city, but got tired of the noises and after a half year, he moved to a remote rented house, with no public transit possibilities, but close to the town where my mom (and her new boyfriend) lives.

I'm suspecting he's falling back into his old drinking habits, and pretty sure they will escalate in time. My dad doesn't socialize, but when I point out to him, that he should get a hobby where he can meet likeminded people, he says he's got lots of friends - but he doesn't see them in private circumstances, and I doubt they are much more than shallow relationships. I know he is lonely, and he blames the world around him for his loneliness.

My dad has always been quite touchy, and sensible about criticism - even if someone is trying to help him, he's perceiving advice or criticism it in a negative way. My mom suspects he's got a mild case of ADHD, but he was never diagnosed, because he doesn't want to lose face over going to a doctor with a problem like this.

I've pretty much come to the point, where I don't care about my dad anymore, and I only want to see him better, because I can tell it's tearing my younger siblings (girls, 22 and 16) apart to see their dad like this. They feel like his happiness is their responsibility, when in reality it's his own, and he just needs to get into treatment.

Reddit, how can I reach past my dads stubbornness and defences, to make him see he needs help?

<bot>: My dad is lonely, and falling back into drinking habbits post-divorce; takes it passively out on me and my siblings - refuses treatment.
