My dad is using cocaine help please!

Well , about a month ago I was in my room watching TV and I heard my stepmom and dad arguing . Which they do rarely, so I eavesdropped and really didnt need to bc mu stepmom screamed "where the f**k" is it?" and storemd out of her room. Looking surprised when she saw me standing out side the door I confronted her and asked her why she was yelling. She had explained to me that my dad used to be a bad crack addict and would go missing for days . He has stopped smoking crack but is now using cocaine. My stepmom swears that it is only every 6 months or so tht he does it (which isnt healthy at all) but I think shes full of crap. In the last 3 months ive had 3 experiences. First he went to get it but my stepmom confronted him at the door and stripped searched him , she flushed it. A few weeks later he is in my grandmothers bathroom snorting cocaine and I had to break down her locked door to stop him. Than he asked my grandmother to take her clothes off for 10grand than a few weeks laterhe was in his bedroom And he did it again. My stepmom tried to hide it from me. My stepmom realizes its a problem but has done mothing to really stop him. Everytime he does this a great amount of depression completley overwhelms me and I just lie down crying not lnowing what to do . Im 15 and have 4 siblings that are younger than 10 who do not know anything. What should I do:'(

First, I'm sorry you're going through this.

Understand that you don't have the power to fix this. Nothing is your fault. It is up to your dad to want to recover and take charge of that. You can't do it for him. Your stepmother can't do it for him. No one can.

I don't have the professional or life experience necessary to help more than that. I couldn't find any more specific resources, but I think if you contact these folks and tell them what's going on, they should be able to point you towards more help.
