I asked my step dad to stop drinking and he called me an assh*le

Sorry, just to add, if someone can't recognize they have a problem, it's not on OP to fix them, OP can tell them they have a problem and how it makes them uncomfortable, but if said doesn't work, keep escalating.

If said person keeps trying to deflect the issue onto OP, I'm telling you (OP) they're immature and need a reality check. You are not in the wrong they are.

You've told them, they didn't care enough to listen. So now you seek outside help.

My point is, if said person respects you and your family, they'll acknowledge what their doing and work with external agencies to do better.

If they're in denial and want to blame everyone else for their actions, it's on them to face consequences.

If they become angry at OP, again, it's on them, not OP.

Good luck OP, I know this isn't easy for you... Some tough choices to make
