Okay, so my mom has always been the one mostly supporting my family. I live in a family of 8, one baby. My dad was in the marines since i was born, but stopped when i was 4. For more than 5 years he didn't work,always on the computer and playing video games, leaving my mom and grandma to work. Then, he joined the police academy, than right when he was almost done, he just quit. Said he was too tired. After that, he didn't work for almost a year, and went back into a deep addiction of video games, especially world of warcraft. That left my mom and grandma to work all the time again. My mom had been working for Cathy Jean for more than ten years because she never got an education, but it payed well because she worked for more than 13 hours a day, with almost no days off, and sometimes she even slept in the store, because she had to open it, and my dad was to lazy. Than, my dad became a cable guy. yep, a CABLE GUY. The job doesn't pay well, and on his days off all he does is play WoW for more than 12 hours straight. He now has an opportunity for a much better job that pays very well, but still hasn't got to it. He always makes empty promises like "Oh ill start the job soon, and we'll be living better" and "I;m going to join the police academy again." for more than 2 years straight, and im sick of it. He does almost nothing to support the family. My mom quit cathy jean and went to a office job because it was to stressful and my dad said he was going to get a better job, but he still has not. Im sick of it, because my mom still works a lot,even working on her days off and working overtime, because we cant pay for the rent now, and we can barely buy food. My dad doesn;t even seem to care. i try to confront him on his days off, but he doesn't even listen to me, and he yells at me and threatens me because he says im being a nuisance. I wish i could just stand up to him, tell him to quit his dumb WoW, get off his ass, and get a better job, but he denies everything. What can i do about this? im stressing out too because i always clean the house because my dad is too lazy, and because im trying to convince my dad to do something. My mom even says im more mature than him. What can i do to convince him to get a better job and life, because if i dont, my parents might get a divorce and we might live in the streets. I dont have much time. HELP PLEASE.
