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)

first...you need to talk to your dad.....if you think that will cause problems,then i suggest you dont....what you need to do is tell him your worried about him...and ask if anything is wrong....take him to church confessions,ask him to try to confess his sins,while you are in the room....try to get a hold of a therapist, you and your mom talk about it,the therapist,and tell her you are worried about your dad and want him to go to a therapist for anger mangement...if that doesnt work write back...i know that you will do the right thing....you are a strong smart young woman...and you diserve the kind of life that teens are supposed to live...i know that everything will be alright!
love :)hearts,
dana

We don't actually attend a church that does "confessions" per se, but since my mom isn't doing anything about him, I was seriously considering talking to someone at church who might. Thanks for your help. :)
