Lust: All you can think about is “SEX, MAKE-OUT, BOOBS (for boys), ABS (for girls), SEX, SEX, SEX”
Love: Let’s just say it goes a little deeper than that. You feel for him/her harder, you love harder, you cry harder, and you hurt harder.
It’s not that difficult to tell the two apart.
Find out why he tend to give in to his emotions and alcohol. I don’t mean the ‘surface’ problems that you already know, like unemployment and financial stress. I mean more profound reasons like maybe he has an extremely strong sense of responsibility over you and not having a stable job interferes with that. Or maybe he has no one to confide in when he has problems and as a result, they slowly build up and he can only turn to alcohol.
This is an opportunity where you can strengthen your relationship with your father, let him know that he is not alone in all this, and provide him with the chance to confide in you. In doing so, you not only prevent him from sinking into depression over his unemployment but hopefully, you can also rid him of this condition completely.
And aside from the emotional strategies, maybe you can help out financially as well. If possible, you could get a part-time job and lessen the financial burden at home. Let him know you are sensible enough for him to depend on <3
Your intention was to get it out of your system, not for him to reciprocate your feelings. So if you look at the big picture, you did what you set out to do. Whether he reacts or not shouldn’t matter so try to look past this and move on (:
