Panic

I told my father I would not be able to take him out this Friday.
He is in an alcoholic panic about this...
He has been pressing me each day since my Friday visit to come this week.
"It's only an hour of your time"
Sunday I told him I would not be home and he called me repeatedly.
Left one message saying to come Wednesday, then hang-ups to home & cellphone.
At nine pm I had had it and answered saying I will not be coming this week.
It took me big balls to say this and I know it is not the end of it by any means.
Next he will probably get angry, or poor me in this joint full of crooks & stupid people,
 or try to make me feel guilty because of car or money he has given me.
I told him I will not go to package store for him.
I quit buying 2+yr ago and cannot go into a package store.

Alcohol is what almost killed him.
