a bit over boad


Question Posted Tuesday August 29 2006, 1:39 pm

My dad has always had a pretty big temper. He has definentaly put me into tears from his yelling quite a few times, and when ever i stand up for my self he just gets worse. well for the most part its never gotten to bad, but lately he has been terrible. Ususally my mom is in a good mood and she gets him to let up a bit but she got mad at me a week ago and lately she hasnt been helping me out. For the past week when ever im just minding my own buisiness he comes into my room and screams at me, and when ever i make a tiny mistake he wont let me foget it and rubs it in my face. Well last night i had a friend sleep over and we wanted o play quiji board. so we got it from my room which it right next to my parents room. well when we finished up we brought the board back up and we were litterally only in my room for 2 seconds when my dad walks in and brings me down stairs and begins to scream at me. saying how i had been up stairs making noise in front of his door for 20 minutes, he brings his face super close to mine and says really scarily next time you wake me up im going to be going to jail cause im gonna hit you so hard. then he screams how stupid i am until im finally in tears, and i try to defend myself and he says do you think im a liar, do you think im stupid, and he starts walking towards me, if it weren't for my brother being home for collage i swear he would have hurt me. i went back upstairs tears all down my face, my friend had heard everything. he always yells at me and calls me stupid and blames everything on me and i dont think im strong enough to take it. and when i tell my mom what he did she just reacts how she always does "dont worry ill talk to him'. but things never get better. advice please. thanks for taking the time to read this.

First of all, you sound brave if you stand up for yourself like that! :]

My dad does the same exact thing. No, I'm not just trying to make you feel like you aren't the only one and all that crap. He does the exact same thing. Except with the threats...he saves those for my mom, who doesn't do a thing. So, I know what you are going through and I'm not going to be an idiot and say, "Just walk away and everything will be fine." because I know EXACTLY what you are going through.

Try talking to a very close friend and tell her everything he does and start from the beginning. That way you have someone to go to when your dad does things like that.
Do you have a good friend who lives in your neighborhood? If so, she should be the one who you talk to. Ask her when your dad starts having the immature fits if its okay to spend the night at her house. Just quietly sneak to where your mom is and ask her if you can spend the night at the person's house and leave. That what I do and trust me, you feel a whole lot better! :]

In your situation, I would talk to your SCHOOL counselor as soon as you can.

Next time he has one of his tantrums get your cell phone and call 911 or a child abuse hotline.

Good luck!!!!

Talk to a councler and they could probally get your dad some help because he has seroius anger managment problems.If he ever does hit you thats considerd child abuse. Maybe you should talk to your brother to and maybe he could help.But go to a school councler and let them know whats going on your dad can sign up for councleing and get better. hope i helped

Wow. Well, as long as your brother's home, you're safe. But that's verbal abuse (especially threatening you) and I think you should go to someone you trust, other than your brother. He has no right to put you down like that and your mother should do something but since she's obviously not, you should go to another adult (guidance counselor, teacher, family friend) that you trust and tell them your problem. You're not gonna want to at first but I promise that when you tell them, you'll feel a lot better. I hope this helped. Good luck!
