what should i do about my family?


Question Posted Monday September 17 2007, 7:08 pm

ok im sure this is going to get long because my family is truly messed up. lol
well first off my dad, hes 50,he has the early stage of aslhimers, so he forgets things all the time. Because he doesnt want to face the facts, when he forgets where things are he blames me for it.by the wayy im mackenza. 16 and a only child.my dad also used to be a drill sargent. he treats me like one of his men. my mom shes way over protective. she had a horrible child hood and doesnt want me to get hurt like her. so she makes it to where i cant even hardly leave the house. with the two of them i can hardly do anything and i am always crying. i hate things and i am so stressed because i always have to do everything because my dad dont do anything and moms always at work.they choose my friends, when i sleep, and everything. what should i do? like its seriously getting to much for me.

What makes things hard, is I wager sitting down and having a heart to heart with your dad is difficult, considering he has Alzheimer's and refuses to accept that.

Your mom isn't doing a bad thing by trying to protect you from harm, but she could be overdoing it a bit. But she overdoes it because she loves you and only wants what is best for you.

I think step one is having a long talk with your mom about your feelings on all this. She may work a lot, but I'm sure she can find the time to sit down and talk to her daughter.
Maybe together you can find a solution, and maybe she can get it through to your dad that you are not a soldier, you are a kid.

That's pretty much your only option other than accepting it and living with it until you are 18 and on your own.

Ok, my dad is 58, and he makes me do this "study hour" thingy that he had to do in military school. He was in the army and was also a drill sargeant and again, also treated me like one of his men. He controls when i study/sleep, and yells at me QUIET a lot. So i can relate a little! I would talk to them about this and tell them how you are so unhappy and your just a kid and can't do everything that the adult is supposed to do! Ask your dad if he could not treat you like you are one of his men. Tell your mom that you know she had a bad childhood, and thats exactly what she's doing to you! Tell her you know she is trying to protect you but it is just making things harder and makes your probably want to push away more! You should be in charge of your friends and when you get to sleep and stuff. You have also got it pretty harsh. Hope this helps! Don't forget to rate!!
