Dear Dr. Judy,
Q. My dad works hard, but gets drunk just about every night and on the weekends, too. I am sick of trying to take care of him as I am the oldest son. My mom just seems to put up with him, but I am so angry and frustrated I don’t know what to do. Sometimes I think I should just get drunk and zone out the way he does. Please help!

Dear Dr. Judy,
Q. I really like this guy, and I think that he likes me. We’ve gone out together several times with friends. He says that he will call me. Sometimes he does, and sometimes he doesn’t. I just don’t get it! What’s up with this? I just don’t know what to do.

Dear Dr. Judy,
Q. I am sick and tired of my parents telling everybody that I am shy. I know that I am, but I am upset that they keep reminding me about this. How can I talk to my parents so that they will understand that they are embarrassing me?

Dear Dr. Stacey,
We had a really difficult time over the holiday with my family, especially my dad. We recently found out that he has Bi Polar Disorder. I always thought there might be something wrong. He always seemed to be very crabby. At our traditional making Christmas cookies, he just made a huge mess in the kitchen and nothing was put away and he just laughed a lot. We were having a good time but he just seems to take things to extremes. Then on the next day, he crashes and this makes me sad because he looks so sad and upset. Sometimes he won’t even get out of bed. I don’t know what to do to help him? Sincerely LOST
