WOW. That really takes me back to my childhood. I have been there and sometimes I wonder how I got out. The thing is, there is nothing you can really do to change their behavior. Until they see that they need help, they won't seek it. What you need to do now is to try to minimize your part in the household drama. Find someone that you can talk to in order to get that poison out of your system. Allow yourself to see that there is another way for you. Best of all, dig in and don't let it drag you down. Set you sights on a brighter future and grab for it with all you have. It is up to you whether you repeat this cycle or break it. I speak from experience that breaking it is hard but worth the battle. If need be, find a friend or relative that you can stay with every once in a while to give yourself a break. It sounds like you really deserve it. Look into extracirricular activities that you enjoy to keep you out of the house as much as possible. In doing so, you may find an area where you really shine and that is the greatest boost for yourself there is. Hang in there and best of luck.

Do you have an Aunt or Uncle that you can turn to? Or even a close family friend. Your home is supposed to be a soft place to fall. You deserve to have a safe haven. Try to find someone you can turn to! I promise people will be eager to help you!

I know you thinking how stupid for me to tell you this but, when i had problems with my dad when my parents were getting divorsed they sent me to a theripist. It helped alot and know me and my dad are the best of friends. Maybe you should talk to a school conseler or ask your mom to go to theripy i know it sounds like crapy advice but it really helps. You poor thing best of luck!!!!!!!

Try to find a friend or relative to stay with for awhile, just till your dad calms down.

Stay with a friend for a few days and relax. There you should call social services..unless you have relatives in mind you'd want to live with..or maybe a really close friend would be willing to adopt you. Dont let this happen anymore, your parents aren't fit to be good parents..you desserve good parents. Every child does.
Best of luck..

move in with a friend or something. thats not safe. your dad seems to be unstable, and you dont know what he'll do. sadly it'll only get worse if your parents dont get help. they never get help. just move out. try talking to them both about it first though. tell them how they make you feel and tell them you love them, you just want everyone to be happy. that if they cant help themselves that ur splitin. maybe itll help them realize wat theyve got at steak.. stake. watever

stay away from all the drama for a while like stay with a relative for a few days or weeks if you have to. maybe by doing this your parents will realize how stressful their making your life and maybe they'll try to help themselves if they love you.

go to a counselor to get help.. usually the school ones arent the best but if thats all youve got you really need to talk to them-- you need to get away from your dad asap!

being scared is okay and probly best i cant say ive ever been put in that situation but usualy if a parent is taking somthing out on you, it isent because of you dont blame yourself if you think whats going on has anything to do with you your wrong and that may be what makes you so depressed. The best thing to do is find somone to talk to, find a good friend or even someone like me, someone u dont know that will just listen, not nessassarly make it go away or make it better. I know it makes me feel a billion times better when i talk about things!

I think you should talk to your mom or a school counsiler about this. This is serious stuff, this can get even more serious if you don't stop it now! I would ask my mom if she could get a divorce or at the least get him help. May i suggest, Marrige counciling? I hope everything thing works out and gets better for you. God bless you. Hope i helped<33

PinkLady4863 answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 11:36 pm:
im sorry, that sucks. but there is something you can do. sitting your mother down and have a private conversation on the fact you would be happier if she divorced your father or if any action would just take place. or calmly ask you father why he doesn't love you anymore, what did you do. i know this sounds like a cheap shot, but if you ask it with sincere tears in your eyes, most likely he will cave and hug you and explain his behavior. but if all fails, you need to talk to a social worker at your school or a teacher, anyone that can help really. although that might lead to bad instant reactions, in the end you will be happier. good luck hunnie

You need to call Social Services. This is a serious issue. You need to get out and away from your Dad ASAP. I've had friends who have this problem and it clears up once they call them and get away from the abuse.
I do not know the number but tell your school cousler. they will know.
find a friend where u n ur mom can stay at. get away.**even if ur mom loves him n feels guiltly u need to convince her this is the safest thing for u and her.**
