need out

[angel08955]

my dad i think is crazy cause of this: he asked my mom to look at the bottom of his foot to see if a splinter was gone and my mom laughed cause she was having hard time getting out of the chair she was sitting in and he said she was laughing at him. he yelled at my mom and me and told us no one talk to him every again he'll just go to work, make money and he hopes he dies. i tried to say that's one flaw witht he human body, if you have pimples or splinters someone you gotta be double jointed to see them and he told me to shut the **** up.




i can't handle this but i have no way out. i fear for my safety now though cause i have never seen him this mad before.

Hey love.... thats crazy that he wigged out like that. I am sorry that you are scared now. How long has he been acting like this? Or do you think he is having just a bad day? Also does he have a metal or physical condition? My dad was really really sick and it was always kindof hidden from me how sick he actually was. He would wig out too and want to die. My brother and I have a 20 year age difference and he and I would battle almost everyday for a couple years. When I say battle I mean that we would start out arguing and end up in a fist fighting, kicking.... ruthless death match. And my dad would always blame me. But sorry i just shared all that about me.... I hope your dad will calm down and relize what was actually happening. Are you scared to talk to him or scared that he is going to hurt you? Let me know... i really want to be here and help you out. Stef

he's obese that is all. i'm scared of talking to him and scared of getting hurt. he hasn't been too supportive of me lately. i've been batteling depression for awhile and i don't get much from the family.

he obviously has some issues going on....I personally struggle with biting people's head's off when i'm hypomanic or in a mixed bipolar state....but I work hard to become aware of myself when i get like this and try hard not to do this.

Sounds like he may have some paranoia going on too. And i'm guessing he has addiction issues?? Addicts tend to act in these types of ways. My opinion is that it comes from a lack of self-esteem and other things. They are not happy within themselves and therefore they think others are against them too. Sounds like this is a situation where detaching from him, with love, might be a good idea.

Just know that he is acting like this because of things going on within him.....it's absolutely not you. But at the same time....don't put up with it. You and your mom deserve to be treated better and it's up to you to make sure people respect you not to treat you like this. It's hard to put that foot down, but much better for all involved in the long-run if you do stand up for your right not to be treated badly by anyone....most importantly....it's much better for YOUR emotional health.

Hugs,
