*HUGS* You are NOT a bad daughter! You reached your breaking point, and you released your frustrations, it would have been really unhealthy if you hadn't done that! Sometimes, people, as much as you love them, you can't change them, they need to recognize their own problems as a problems before they'll be willing to fix them or get help. I know all too well what that's like from dealing with my grandmother who was an alcoholic (now recovering). Until SHE realized she had a drinking problem, nothing anyone else said or did meant anything to her.
*more HUGS* For your and his sake, I hope your dad does realize he has a problem and needs help, soon.
