I gambled on my Dad getting his shit together, kicking his gambling habit and getting back on his feet. I'm fucking stupid.

I'm $20K in debt (and slowly growing) supporting him by either paying for his rent/car payments or for his food (NEVER for his gambling). I fucking despise him because this debt is keeping me from doing things I want to in my life, but I feel morally obligated to help him because he's my Dad and at some point early in my life he was actually a good Dad, so the idea that he ends up on the streets or something is too much for me to handle.

He probably knows that I'll never abandon him and I don't know if he feels any remorse or regret at all knowing that he's dragging me along with him. I know I can never tell him when I get a raise or a bonus because the couple times I did, he took it as "you can ask me for more money / take more risks because your safety net of a son makes a bit more now" and I learned my lesson quickly.
