The topic of addiction extends to so many things. I feel a great pity in these situations in particular.

The goal should be on having him understand his vice is at a greater expense of family and security. Your move is only a step and if not done correctly can be the end for any normalcy.
Normalcy is the end goal, no?
Be not bitter as best you can then ♥️

Heed the signs: try to be your best at understanding the situation, what you can do and put in the effort to perfect how you do it. Maybe speaking extensively to your family about it and how it concerns you will or will not help, it is okay. Maybe they are lacking the will or strategy you are capable of to force good change.

I wish you great peace and your father a greater revelation in understanding himself and impact on his family.

He just borrowed another 3000 from a friend... I'm sure you're right I'm just not in a headspace to approach this so gracefully.
