Blazer you are being dragged into an issue that is not really yours to deal with. Your mother needs to confide in someone who is not her child. Maybe your parents are playing games with each other, as many adults do. Your father may be trying to stir up jealousy over something that your mother may have done. You will never really know.
Your father seems to be drinking regularly and it sounds as though you are concerned about this. Does he know about Alcoholics Anonymous? There is also a support group called Al Anon for the family of alcoholics. They would help both you and your mother to live with the effects of your father's drinking, including the issue that you are facing now
