13/f i seriously cant stand my dad anymore. he had ADD (well it sure seems like it) ok i will fill you in on some things he does. i was in my room yesterday putting my clothes away, and there was this one shelf i put my old clothes on that don't fit me anymore. my dad came into my room and kicked me and was like why dont you wear these nice clothes anymore? and i was like because there too small i've had them since 5th grade (and im in 7th) and they are size 10 in girls and im size 14 in girls. i told him that, so he goes im not spending anymore money on your fatass anymore because i buy you so many clothes (and really, there was an orange BEBE shirt that my cousin gave me, and a BCBG sweatsuit that my mom bought me for 10 bucks a piece) i buy my own clothes. i dont know what the hell hes tlaking about but i spend my own money at the mall. well he gets mad for no reason, so if i spill water on accident, he goes all crazy and calls me names and slaps me and stuff. he says im bad, and i dont do anything wrong. this has been going on since i was in 1st grade. i cant take it anymore. i dont wanna call the police or talk to a councelor because hes really a good dad and he buys me expensive stuff and at times hes all like a good dad and hes nice but sometimes he acts like that. about 5 minutes ago i was eating a baked potato and he was like you fat ass you dont need to eat anything so i threw it away and went upstairs and cried. i'm 5'3 and 106 pounds, i don't really thing that's fat? my mom is like right there when everything happens but she doesnt say anything. i have 2 brothers ones 7 and ones 9 and my dad is like to my brothers i hope you guys don't turn into a samantha-junior, and im like wtf i dont do anything wrong! im just acting like a regular teenage girl. sorry this is long but i really dont know what to do anymore. any advice?

Andreaaaa answered Monday May 28 2007, 9:42 am: As much as you don't want to, going to your school counselor is the best thing to do. Just because you and your family talk to a councelor doesn't mean he's a bad dad. It just means he has one MAJOR flaw that he needs to work on and sometimes you can't get problems like that solved without help. I really think you need to talk to someone about this, maybe then your dad will open his eyes and see your really not a bad kid at all. [ Andreaaaa's advice column | Ask Andreaaaa A Question ]
