I'm 17 and a senior and I have a serious problem with my dad. I have an older brother who doesn't live at home any more, but when he did, he wasn't exactly the best student. I remember every time interums or report cards would come out, I would hide up in my room listening to him crying as my dad screamed at him. I don't know everything that my dad did, because I never saw it, but I only remember my mom sticking up for him ONCE. He would always tell anyone who would listen what a loser my brother was and how he would never amount to anything. The first time I got a C in math was when I was in the 10th grade. My dad screamed at me and then told me to get out of his face because he didn't want to look at me anymore. He gets pissed off at little things, has thrown chairs across the room and has no clear desire whatsoever to control his anger. He has never hit my mom, little sister or me but he yells a lot and my mom hardly ever says anything to him. He's trying to force me to go to the college he wants me to go to by threatening not to give me any financial support. For a while, I was cutting myself because he made me feel so worthless, but I haven't done so in over two years because my mom walked in on me once. She doesn't believe me when I say I think I'm really depressed. My brother was diagnosed with chronic depression and my dad flipped when he found out because he doesn't believe in psychology, which is the field I want to go into. I really hate him and am sick of putting up with him and I don't know what to do. (link)

OMG i am exactly in your position too, you see my dad used to hit me and i cut....and i cut because i thought that physical pain was better than emotional pain and it didnt help....well not for me...anyways if he ever yells at you like tht again try to close your eyes and cover your ears and count to 20 once he stops yelling when you see a parent or an adult you trust try to talk to them about it then they can get your dad some help and your life will be esier.....trust me on this one......it worked for me.
hope i helped sicerly,Marie

Thanks, I have been considering talking to someone who will actually do something about it.
