Give me a break
Oh, Lordy, the drah-ma!
You have a family that is very, very unhappy. It is breaking up. You may or may not terminate your relationship with your father.
The possibility of a new family appears through a long-lost half sibling. You latch on to it. Maybe this family will be happier, more fun, more loving, less drunk... In your head, it's ideal. You'll dump the current family and join the other family. You and your long-lost half sibling can bond over shared bitterness at the sins of your alcoholic father.
Give me a break. Your half-sibling has parents and a life, and you're not part of it. Sib probably doesn't even think too much about your dad or you. Sib had a father and a mother. Leave them alone.
You have issues, tons of issues. It's not fair to the long-lost half sibling. You should work out your current issues with your father and family before you try to form a relationship with the half-sibling.
